Prepare the Pork Chops
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Press a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese onto both sides of each chop.Coating the pork chops liberally with Parmesan creates a crispy, flavorful crust.
Cooking

Cook the Pork Chops
Place the Parmesan-crusted pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked through. -
Prepare the Veggies
While the pork chops are baking, toss your favorite vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a separate baking sheet.Choose vegetables that roast well such as broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers for a delicious side dish. -
Roast the Veggies
Add the vegetable-filled baking sheet to the oven during the last 15-20 minutes of the pork chops' cooking time. Roast until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.Keep an eye on the veggies to prevent burning and stir them halfway through for even cooking.

- Feel free to swap the vegetables with your favorites like zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus.
- Make sure to pat the pork chops dry before coating them with the Parmesan mixture for a crispy crust.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your pork chops to ensure they are cooked through but still juicy.
