A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring juicy BBQ pork chops roasted with fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, 6–8 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup baby carrots or regular carrots sliced thin (150 grams)
  • Optional: 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Place the pork chops in a bowl or zip-top bag, pour 1/2 cup BBQ sauce over them, and marinate for at least 10 minutes (up to 30 minutes if time allows).
  4. In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, carrots, and cherry tomatoes (if using) with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan. Place the pork chops on top of or nestled among the veggies.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. At the halfway point (about 12 minutes), use tongs to flip the pork chops and stir the veggies for even cooking.
  7. Check that pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) or that juices run clear and meat is opaque.
  8. Brush a little more BBQ sauce on the pork chops during the last 5 minutes of cooking for extra glaze.
  9. Remove from oven and let pork chops rest for 5 minutes to retain juiciness.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Pat pork chops dry before seasoning to ensure caramelization. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Rest pork chops after cooking to keep them juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe cooking temperature. For lower sugar, substitute BBQ sauce with coconut aminos. Line pan with foil for easier cleanup.
