I love this Sheet Pan Italian Pork Chops meal, it can all be prepped and cooked in one pan. It makes dishes SO easy.
For sheet pan recipes like this, I recommend using a large sheet pan with an edge. THIS ONE is one of my favorites. For even easier clean up, line your pan with aluminum foil.
How to make sheet pan Italian pork chops with potatoes and carrots:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Step 2: Spray a large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. You could also lay down a sheet of aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
This dish can get a little messy when the juices and seasonings mix. You could also spray the aluminum foil with non stick cooking spray, to avoid pulling up or cutting through the aluminum foil when getting the pork chops off the pan.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, dressing mix packet, paprika, oregano, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Step 4: Dip each pork chop in the oil mixture, making sure to coat both sides, and place on the prepared pan. Repeat with remaining pork chops. This step is best done with your hands.
I tried using forks but it is difficult to flip and control without making a mess.
Step 5: Add the potatoes and carrots to the sheet pan and drizzle any remaining olive oil mixture on top.
Step 6: Toss lightly to mix together. I also did this step with my hands, but you could easily use a spatula or a spoon to spread and flip the potatoes in the mixture.
Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until pork chops are full cooked.
Step 8: Garnish with parsley and serve.
How to keep your Italian pork chops from getting dry
Pork chops are naturally a drier meat when you cook them. However, you can make them a little more juicy.
Pork chops are often pretty thick. I will usually place my pork chop on it’s curved side and cut them in half, to make them thinner.
Then cook them for about half the time as directed.
Pork chops can sometimes dry out when you cook them in the oven. But I have found that this recipe makes them moist and delicious every time.
I have made this recipe a few times and have never had a problem with my pork chops getting dry. They are always juicy and a big hit.
For this recipe, I used boneless pork chops that were about 3/4″ thick, so if yours are thicker or thinner than this, you will want to vary your cooking time.

Just made this for supper tonight and oh boy was it good. So easy and love the flavor of the chops. Will be making this again for sure, thank you
Super easy to make and a big hit with the whole family. Plus super easy clean up. Thank you!
This recipe was delicious! Got all 3 of my picky eaters to gobble down dinner…including the veggies!
I am going to try this, it sounds yummy! I am going to experiment with it on my pellet grill. What do you think about baking it covered to help keep in the moisture?
We have not cooked these on a pellet grill. Let us know how it all turns out.
We have not had a problem with this recipe ever. Your pork chops may have been too thin.
This recipe is insanely good!! It’s a staple in our house. Thank you so much to whoever made this GOLD 🙌🏻 Delicious.
Can I substitute the Italian season packet or omit all together
Feel free to substitute with another flavor of seasoning or omit – it will alter the flavor of the recipe however. If you want to make your own italian dressing mix from scratch here is a great recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/25171/italian-dressing-mix/
Can this recipe be prepped the night before>
I would avoid marinating the pork chops overnight as the acid can start to break down the outer layer of the meat, making it mushy. Best bet is to marinade the pork the morning of or a half hour before baking
This was soooo good! I added some fairytale eggplants from our garden to potatoes and carrots. Will definitely make this again. Thanks!
Made exactly as written, 40 minutes in oven. Chops tender and everything perfect! Thank you for this recipe
Anyone used bone in chops? What adjustments would I make? Thx
Bone-in pork chops can generally be substituted for boneless pork chops in this recipe, butthey might require a slightly longer cooking time. Just make sure the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C)
The pork chops were awesome. I used thicker pork chops. I will be doing these again. Thanks.
Delicious and very easy is a bonus! This is my second time making this!
What a fabulous sheet pan dinner. Pork loin chops were coated with deliciousness and so tender. Carrots and potatoes cooked perfectly. Will definitely be one of my go-to dinners. Excellent!! Thank you!
