These easy Sheet Pan Pork Chops with Sweet Potatoes and Apples take just five minutes to prep and are perfect for a healthy fall dinner.
Hi friends!
Just popping in to share these sheet pan pork chops and sweet potatoes. Lately, I’ve been all about finding quick, easy dinners that take minimal time to prep. Even though I do food prep, there are still some nights when I make dinner after we get home from the gym and on those nights I’m usually dealing with raging post-workout hunger, a cranky toddler etc. So I need things I can throw together quickly so I can then spend my energy elsewhere while it cooks.
This sheet pan dinner definitely fits the bill. You just plop some pork chops on a pan, mix together a few spices, toss the veggies, add them to the pan and boom- you’ve got pork chops and sweet potatoes in oven.
Pork Chops and Sweet Potatoes
I love pork and apples together so I knew I wanted to use apples in this dish and then I threw in some sweet potatoes and red peppers because those are always plentiful in the fall. A delicious mixture of ginger and cinnamon adds some flavor, making this a super tasty meal.
So here’s how you make it:

These easy Sheet Pan Pork Chops with Sweet Potatoes and Apples take just five minutes to prep and are perfect for a healthy fall dinner.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped sweet potatoes
- 2 cups chopped apples
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1.5 pounds porkchops (I used thick cut boneless)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (I use ginger paste)
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Place porkchops on a large, foil-lined baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- Place chopped vegetables and apples in a large bowl.
- In a small dish, combine ginger, oil, paprika, cinnamon, garlic and brown sugar and mix well.
- Spoon mixture over sweet potato mixture and stir to coat.
- Arrange mixture on baking sheet around the pork chops.
- Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until pork chops reach desired temperature.
Some notes:
- I used boneless pork chops but you could easily use bone-in.
- Your cooking time will vary a bit depending on the thickness of your pork chops.
- Chop your sweet potatoes fairly small so they cook all the way through.
- Also, I chose to just go with a little salt and pepper on the pork chops themselves but you could easily make some extra of the spice mixture and spread some on the chops as well!
- If you’re not using ginger paste (this is my favorite) you may want to add a little extra oil to help a paste form before adding the mixture to the veggies and apples.

we are crazy about sheet pan dinners, and this one sounds perfect for fall!!
Just made this exactly as described. It was a hit! The juices from the apple kept the pork tender and the flavors of all the seasonings were a delicious blend. I served it with steamed brown rice.
woohoo! so happy you liked it!
Made this for dinner yesterday and it was great! I wasn’t sure about the paprika, but just went with it. It was moist and delicious.
glad to hear you liked it!
My household loves this recipe. I cook this one multiple times a year. It has really expanded my meal planning to include a meat other than chicken or beef. This recipe has also encouraged me to bake meat more than frying or boiling. This is usually a very easy recipe to do because our pantry/fridge is normally stocked with all the ingredients other than the meat.
