This one-pot dinner with maximum comfort food flavor, tender pork, and minimum clean up is delicious for any night of the week.

Pork Chops with Potatoes and Carrots

Home-cooked meals are the best, especially when they’re as easy to make as this one is.

This one-pot, or one-roaster pan meal is made with boneless pork sirloin chops, red potatoes, carrots and green beans that are seasoned with garlic, onion, fresh rosemary, salt and pepper.

Feel free to change up the type of pork chops used in this recipe. A bone-in variety would taste wonderful too.

The roaster pan used for this recipe is one of my favorite kitchen items.

It’s a small size (13-inches) oval roaster pan made by Granite Ware and comes in so handy for cooking whole chicken, beef roast, chili and stew.

These pork chops are so tender and the rosemary and garlic adds wonderful flavor to not only the meat but the vegetables and potatoes too.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Boneless pork sirloin chops (or other variety of pork chops if preferred), garlic, olive oil, onion (white or yellow), red potatoes, whole fresh green beans, peeled and cut baby carrots (or peeled carrots cut into about 2-inch long pieces), 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary (cut in half), salt, pepper and water

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

Here’s how to make it.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

For the Pork Chops – Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.

To both sides of the pork chops add salt…

…and pepper.

Set aside for just a moment.

Heat a medium size skillet on medium heat and add olive oil.

If adding more pork chops to this recipe, or if cooking large size pork chops, use a larger size skillet.

To the pan, carefully add the pork chops.

Once the bottom sides of the pork chops are browned (about 3-5 minutes)…

…turn them over and let cook until the other sides are also browned (about 4 minutes).

Browning adds a rich flavor to the pork chops and also adds a nice color contrast with the potatoes and vegetables.

Transfer the pork chops from the skillet to a roaster pan.

For the Roaster Pan Pork Chop Dinner – To the roaster pan, add water.

Next,

…add diced garlic on top and around the pork chops.

Then…

…add largely chopped pieces of onion on top and around the pork chops.

Cut the red potatoes in half.

If the potatoes are a large size, cut them into thirds.

TIP – try to cut the potatoes in about the same size pieces so that they will all be done at the same time.

Move the pork chops toward the middle of the pan to make room for the potatoes.

To the pan, add the potatoes around the pork chops (cut side down or cut side up is fine).

Drizzle olive oil on top of the pork chops and potatoes.

Cut 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary in half so that there are 6 small sprigs.

Lay 3 small sprigs of rosemary across the top spaced evenly over the pork chops and potatoes.

On top of the potatoes and around the pork chops, add the cut carrots.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the carrots and potatoes.

Cut the ends off of the green beans and add them to the middle of pan on top of the pork chops, potatoes and carrots.

Level the green beans out across the pan from side to side and from end to end (so that they’re not bunched up in a mound).

Drizzle olive oil on top of the green beans.

Next, sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the green beans and…

…lay 3 small sprigs of rosemary, spaced evenly across the top of the green beans.

Cover the roaster pan with a lid and cook in a preheated oven for an hour or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender and the pork chops are thoroughly cooked.

Then with the lid still on, let the pork chops, potatoes and vegetables rest for 10 minutes.
