Juicy pork chops glazed with sweet maple and roasted to perfection with seasonal veggies — a cozy, comforting one-pan meal made for busy nights.

Let’s talk about underrated dinner heroes: pork chops. They’re quick, versatile, and when you add a sticky-sweet maple glaze and roast them with veggies? Game. Over.

This Sheet-Pan Maple Glazed Pork Chops recipe is one of those meals that looks fancy but is secretly super simple. Everything cooks together on one pan, and the maple glaze adds that cozy fall-inspired flavor that somehow works any time of year.

It’s family-friendly, meal-prep friendly, and most importantly: weeknight friendly.

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved

• 1 cup Brussels sprouts or green beans, trimmed

• 1 red onion, cut into wedges

• Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

2. Make the glaze:
   In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

3. Prep the veggies:
   Toss the potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and red onion with a bit of the glaze. Spread on the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.

4. Add the pork chops:
   Remove pan from the oven. Nestle the pork chops between the veggies and brush generously with the remaining glaze.

5. Roast again:
   Return to oven and bake for 15–20 more minutes, or until the pork chops reach 145°F internal temp and veggies are tender.

6. Serve:
   Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Pork chop tip: Use thick-cut chops for best results — they stay juicy and caramelize beautifully.

• Veggie swap: Sweet potatoes, carrots, or parsnips work great too.

• Meal prep tip: Store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat with a splash of broth to keep everything moist.
