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:

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
