Sheet Pan Wonders
Ok, how much do we love a sheet pan dinner? Everything cooked on one pan with basically no dishes and it’s healthy and simple. Sign. Me. Up.
I am always on the hunt for new ways to make dinner easy for you guys. And sheet pan meals are one of the easiest options around. We’ve all loved this sheet pan buffalo chicken recipe for years but there may be a new favorite sheet pan meal in town.
Boneless pork chops, a medley of fresh vegetables and some simple herbs and spices all come together to create this new family pleasing meal.
Vegetable Selection
To pair with the sheet pan pork chops, I picked a handful of vegetables that pair nicely with pork and have varying textures to keep things interesting. The onions become soft and sweet. The potatoes get crispy on the outside and tender within. The peppers soften but keep a bit of their snappy texture.
These vegetables are great options but if you’re missing one or have some extra of something else from the week go ahead and swap things out. Use what you have in your crisper drawer. Some great additional vegetables for this sheet pan meal would be broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, squash and really anything else.
Keep in mind, some of these veggies may not cook at the same rate. If you’re using cauliflower, make sure to cut it into smaller florets so it has time to soften and caramelize without having to cook the meal longer than the recipe states. If zucchini is getting added to the mix, wait to add it to the sheet pan until after everything else has been cooking for 10 minutes.
A Few Details
My very, very favorite sheet pans are these USA pans. They cook evenly, clean easily, are reasonably priced and I love that they are made here in the USA. I pretty much have every pan size and shape they sell and they are always the ones I grab for first.
This makes for a great meal prep option too if you take your lunches to work. It will make enough for you to take to lunch Monday through Thursday then reward yourself for bringing lunch all week on Friday by going out. You know you like how I think.
Keep an eye out for a fun dessert coming your way soon using a sheet pan too. So many delicious things to do with a simple kitchen tool.

The oven is hands down my favourite kitchen appliance (just because I don’t have a dishwasher)for two reasons. One is because I love to bake and the other is because I love that in the oven you can make such simple yet delicious dinners in such a short time. So efficient. And so few dishes to dish!
