While I do feel bad for the pigs, their meat is pretty good and the world is ruthless. This recipe for sheet pan pork chops is a nice way to add some good veggies to your diet while still indulging in porky goodness.

Ingredients

• 4-5 pork chops — we use slices of pork tenderloin instead of “pork chops” because you can buy a 5-pound pork loin for the same price as pre-sliced pork chops
• 16 oz. baby red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 16 oz. green beans
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp. fresh parsley

Process

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Mix the olive oil, thyme, garlic, pepper, salt, and parmesan in a large bowl.
3. Add the veggies to the bowl and toss to combine.
4. Using tongs (or your little fingers) take the vegetables out of the mixture and place on the baking sheet. Reserve the mix for the next step.
5. Brush the pork chops with the herbed oil mixture and place them on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pork has reached an internal temperature of at least 150 degrees.
7. Remove from oven and let rest for five minutes. Use this time to set the table.
8. Garnish the pork chops with parsley and serve.
