Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Pork Chops with Canned Carrots

 

How to Make It Step-by-Step

1
Prep and Preheat
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch ceramic or glass baking dish with cooking spray or oil. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.

2
Arrange the Chops and Carrots
2 mins

Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the center of the baking dish. Drain the canned carrots completely and scatter them evenly around the edges of the pork chops.

3
Coat with Sauce
2 mins

Spoon half of the honey mustard (or French dressing) over the top of the pork chops, spreading it evenly with a brush or spoon. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the canned carrots and toss them gently in the dish to coat.

4
Bake to Tender Perfection
22–25 mins

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes (or until the internal temperature of the thickest pork chop reaches 145°F on a meat thermometer).

5
Rest and Serve
3–5 mins

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 3 to 5 minutes so the juices redistribute throughout the meat. Spoon the warm, glazed carrots alongside the chops and pour any extra pan drippings over the top before serving.

Pro Tip: For a slightly caramelized finish, switch your oven to BROIL for the last 2 minutes of baking. This crisps up the edges of the pork chops and gives the glazed carrots a rich, roasted sheen!
