2026-03-12

Serves: 4 | Total time: ~35 minutes | Why it works: Thin chops cook fast; staggered veg roasting prevents mushy potatoes.

Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 12 oz green beans, trimmed
- 1 lemon (zest + juice)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp thyme
- 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp pepper

Method
1) Heat oven to 425°F. Toss potatoes with 1.5 tbsp oil, half the salt/pepper. Roast 12 minutes.
2) Mix remaining oil, lemon zest/juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, remaining salt/pepper.
3) Toss green beans with 1 tbsp marinade; add to pan. Nestle seasoned pork chops; brush tops with marinade.
4) Roast 12–15 minutes until chops hit 145°F and potatoes are tender. Broil 1–2 minutes for color if desired.
5) Rest 5 minutes; spoon pan juices over chops.
