Prep and roast potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment as a nonstick base.
- Toss the baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then spread them in an even layer on the pan.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes at 425°F, until they start to turn golden at the edges (visual cue: slightly browned corners).
Sear pork and finish on the sheet pan
- Season the pork chops with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet with the remaining olive oil for 2 minutes per side, aiming for browned surfaces (visual cue: dark golden crust).
- Push the potatoes to the edges, place the pork chops in the center, and add the green beans around the chops on the same sheet pan.
- Mix the minced garlic into the melted butter, then drizzle the garlic herb butter over everything so it pools around the chops.
- Roast for 18-20 more minutes at 425°F until the pork reaches 145°F, then garnish with fresh parsley (visual cue: pork is just cooked through and potatoes are deeply caramelized).
Notes
Pro tip: searing creates a flavorful crust that holds up during the second roast—don’t skip it. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat on a sheet pan at 425°F until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended for best texture, but you can swap to boneless pork chops and reduce the second roast time by a few minutes.
