A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring honey garlic glazed pork chops and perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts, ideal for busy weeknights and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless), about 6 oz (170 g) each
  • 1 pound (450 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim ends off Brussels sprouts and slice in half lengthwise. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of a rimmed sheet pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard (if using), and red pepper flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Brush or spoon half the honey garlic glaze evenly over each chop.
  4. Place pork chops on the other side of the sheet pan, spaced apart. Drizzle remaining glaze over Brussels sprouts.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip pork chops carefully using tongs or a spatula. Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and Brussels sprouts are tender with crispy edges.
  6. Remove from oven and let pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over pork chops and Brussels sprouts before serving.

Notes

Use fresh Brussels sprouts for best crispiness; frozen sprouts may become mushy. Pat pork chops dry before glazing for better browning. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even roasting. Flip pork chops halfway through cooking for caramelization. Use a meat thermometer to check for 145°F internal temperature. Line sheet pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray for easier cleanup. Variations include swapping soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free, adding sriracha for heat, or substituting veggies like green beans or baby carrots.
