Ingredients for Sheet Pan Mustard and Herb-Crusted Pork Chops with Roasted Root Vegetables

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, and rosemary. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush each pork chop liberally with the mustard and herb mixture on both sides. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle oregano, salt, and pepper, and toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan, making sure they are in a single layer to roast evenly.
Place the mustard-crusted pork chops on the sheet pan nestled among the vegetables, ensuring some space between each chop for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pork chops register an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
For extra browning, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking—watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
Serve the mustard and herb-crusted pork chops alongside the colorful roasted root vegetables for a complete, flavorful family meal.
