Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 6 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
Vegetables
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
Seasonings & Oils
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ounce ranch dressing mix (1 oz package)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Ingredients: Place the baby potatoes and pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over both, then toss gently to coat everything well.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and ground black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the pork chops and potatoes, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Salt is optional based on personal taste.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender. Note that cooking times may vary based on oven type and pork chop thickness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pork chops and potatoes for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can use either boneless or bone-in pork chops for this recipe; cooking times may need slight adjustment.
- If you prefer crisper potatoes, cut baby potatoes in halves before roasting.
- Adding salt is optional as ranch seasoning typically contains salt, so taste before seasoning further.
- For a lower fat version, use a cooking spray with olive oil instead of drizzling oil.
- Check the internal temperature of pork chops with a meat thermometer to ensure safe doneness.
