Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil onto the pork chops, then evenly coat both sides with the spice mixture. Set aside.
Wash and cut the carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and baby potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, then toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned vegetables onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared pork chops onto the baking sheet with the vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
