Ingredients
for the pork chops
▢4 thick-cut boneless pork chops - for thin pork chops, see note
▢salt and pepper - to taste
▢1 tablespoon olive oil
▢2 teaspoons Italian seasoning - or Herbs de Provence, see note for DIY
▢⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
▢optional: dijon sauce - see note
for the brussels sprouts
▢1 pound brussels sprouts - cut in half lengthwise
▢1 tablespoon olive oil
▢1 teaspoon salt
▢¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
▢optional: balsamic glaze/reduction - see note
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Rub pork all over with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Then season with Italian seasoning and sprinkle on top and bottom with parmesan cheese.
Arrange pork chops 2 inches apart on a large, rimmed sheet pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
While pork chops are baking, toss brussels sprouts with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Add brussels sprouts to the sheet pan, cut side down. Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes longer until brussels sprouts are fork-tender with crisp edges and pork chops are done (a meat thermometer should read 145 degrees or pink should be nearly gone in the center).
Serve immediately OR top with dijon sauce and/or balsamic glaze if desired and serve.
