Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red, halved)
  • 12 ounces fresh green beans (trimmed)
Marinade ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced, about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnishes
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
  • Parmesan cheese for sprinkling (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes.
  3. Trim the green beans and pat all veggies dry.
  4. Mince the garlic and squeeze fresh lemon juice. Chop fresh herbs, if using.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Assembly & Cooking
  1. Place halved potatoes and trimmed green beans in a large mixing bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the marinade over them and toss to coat evenly.
  2. Spread potatoes cut-side down on one half of a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange green beans on the other half.
  3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush or rub the remaining marinade over each chop, then place them in the center of the sheet pan between the veggies.
  4. Roast everything in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chops and tossing the vegetables halfway through.
  5. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), while potatoes should be golden and crispy, and green beans tender yet bright green.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and sprinkle Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve directly from the pan or plate it family-style with lemon wedges.

Notes

Timing is everything: If you're short on time, it’s okay to leave the marinating for just a few minutes instead of hours! Feel free to swap pork for chicken or add more veggies like carrots or bell peppers. Use fresh herbs for added flavor.
