Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 medium Carrots
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into 1-inch chunks. Thinly slice the onion. Spread the vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoons of dried thyme. Toss to coat.
Rub the pork chops with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, and remaining salt and pepper. Place the pork chops on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
Pour 1 cup of chicken broth across the bottom of the baking dish to help prevent the food from drying out during baking.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Uncover the dish and sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly over the pork chops and vegetables. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate the pork chops with a generous helping of roasted vegetables and enjoy your Easy Pork Bake!
