Ingredients
Scale
Pork Chops
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Additional olive oil for drizzling
Honey Butter Glaze
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the pork chops and potatoes.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Pork Chops: Place the bone-in pork chops evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Oil the Pork Chops: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pork chops, coating both sides thoroughly for moisture and flavor.
- Season Pork Chops: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper evenly over both sides of the chops.
- Rub in Seasoning: Use your hands to gently rub the seasoning into the pork chops to ensure full coverage.
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly around the pork chops on the baking sheet.
- Season Potatoes: Drizzle potatoes with additional olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss gently to coat.
- Add Rosemary: Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh rosemary over both the pork chops and potatoes for aromatic flavor.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and potatoes are tender and golden.
- Melt Butter: While roasting, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Mix Honey Butter: Once butter is melted, stir in honey until well combined to create the glaze.
- Remove from Oven: Take the baking sheet out of the oven once cooking is complete.
- Glaze Pork Chops: Brush the honey butter mixture over the hot pork chops to add a sweet and savory finish.
- Serve: Plate the pork chops alongside the rosemary roasted potatoes and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For best results, use bone-in pork chops for more flavor and moisture retention.
- Check the internal temperature of the pork chops with a meat thermometer to ensure they are safely cooked.
- Potatoes can be substituted with sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
