Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and pat dry the pork chops. Lightly season them with half the salt and black pepper, and set aside.
Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Halve the baby potatoes, peel and slice the carrots, cut the zucchini into thick slices, and dice the red bell pepper into chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, remaining salt, and black pepper. Toss well until evenly coated.
Transfer the seasoned vegetables to a large baking dish and spread them out in an even layer.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Sear the pork chops for 2 minutes per side until just browned (they do not need to be fully cooked).
Place the seared pork chops on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
