You’re just one pan and 30-ish minutes away from discovering the secret to pork chops that stay juicy and come with perfectly roasted veggies—no flipping, no fuss. This Maple Pork Chops & Veggie Dinner is ready in just over half an hour (which totally still counts as a 30 minute dinner in my book). It’s a complete meal with tender pork chops, golden potatoes, and sweet roasted carrots—all on one pan. Less mess, more yum.
Don’t you just love sheet pan dinners? Me too. With right around 10 minutes of prep time, this sheet pan pork chops and veggie combo is perfect for busy weeknights. And the best part? It’s a healthy, hearty meal the entire family will actually be excited about. (Yes, even the picky one who claims they “don’t like carrots”, they may just surprise you.)
This is a fabulous recipe to meal prep, especially if you're cooking for two. We make it once and enjoy it twice, which is my kind of efficiency.
I've also got a Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin with Brussels Sprouts and Apples that's also a 30 minute dinner, so check that out too!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Made with simple ingredients that come washed and ready to go, this easy dinner comes together fast. Just get it prepped, pop it in the oven, and kick your feet up while it does the heavy lifting. Who says dinner time has to be complicated and stressful?
- Pork Chops: I use boneless pork chops that are about 4 ounces each. Bone-in chops take up more space on the baking sheet and may not cook in the same amount of time. Thick-cut pork chops will definitely take longer to cook.
- Potatoes: Red potatoes roast up faster than russets, and sweet potatoes or gold potatoes roast quickly too. I buy the kind in a 1.5 pound bag that come already washed and ready to go. Then I cut them smaller so they cook in a short amount of time—no one wants crunchy spuds.
- Carrots: Buying petite carrots is key because they roast quickly with no prep. Baby carrots can be pretty thick and may not cook as fast. Carrot coins also work, but they’ll add to the prep time unless you buy them pre-chopped.
- Maple Syrup: I use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup (because that would just be weird... and very sweet).
- Mustard: I usually go for a grainy brown mustard, but for a bolder kick, use Dijon mustard. Both are great-choose your mustard mood.
- Oil: Olive oil is my go-to, but canola oil and avocado oil are also healthy alternatives. You can use vegetable oil too if that’s what you have on hand.
- Spices & Seasonings: We season the veggies with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simple pantry staples that deliver big flavor.

Tips for success
Why do you include metric measurements?
While the U.S. still mostly uses cups and tablespoons, the rest of the world uses metric. I include both to make my recipes easier for everyone—no conversions needed! The metric amounts are calculated automatically and work great for everyday cooking. Since these recipes aren’t for baking (where exact weights really matter), a few grams one way or the other won’t hurt a thing.Just toggle to the metric version to view the measurements in grams, milliliters, and more!
