Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim any excess fat from the pork chops and set aside.
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Peel the carrots and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, and broccoli florets. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork chops.
Line a large baking sheet or dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving enough space in the center for the pork chops.
Place the pork chops in the center of the baking sheet, nestled among the vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender and golden.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops alongside the roasted vegetables and enjoy your effortless, flavorful meal!
