Why are these pork chops so good? Because it’s always about the sauce! The delicious sticky garlic sauce is a combination of sweet and savory, which gets baked into the tender pork chops.

What Cut of Pork Chops?

With so many different cuts of pork chops to choose from, you can have so many different options. Choose the pork chops that you like the most and usually cook with. This recipe works with any style of pork chops. The only thing to consider is that some chops are thicker than others, so cooking time will be more. It’s good to invest in a meat thermometer so you can make sure the internal temperature of the pork chop is 145°F. Here’s a great pork chop cheat sheet.

Tips on How to Cook Roast Pork Chops in Oven

  • If you’re cooking thick bone-in pork chops you might need to add a little more cooking time, abou 5 minutes. Our recipe timing is for boneless pork chops.
  • You can use a large baking dish instead of a sheet pan when cooking pork chops.
  • Since the pork chop marinade is salty enough, it can be optional if you want to season the pork chops with extra salt and pepper.
  • Make sure to cut the vegetables a little smaller so that they cook at the same time the pork chops are cooked. If the veggies are still raw after cooking the pork chops in the oven, remove the pork chops. Let the chops rest a bit and continue cooking the veggies until they are tender.

Roasted Garlic Pork Chops with Potatoes and Carrots

Pork chops vary in size and thickness, so adjust cooking times as necessary. Our recipe was made with 3/4” thick center cut pork loin chops at about 8 ounces each. If you’re cooking with thinner and smaller chops, reduce cooking time and check the chops earlier for doneness. You can cook these on a skillet and sear them first before you put them in the oven, which skips the broiler method in the end.
