For the Pork Chops:

• 6 Thin-Cut Boneless Pork Chops
• 2 c Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour 

For the Vegetables:

• 1 Large Sweet Potato, sliced and quartered
• 2 cups Brussel Sprouts, halved
• 1 Red Onion, large dice
• 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Pepper
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp Paprika

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat and Prepare:  Preheat your oven to 425°F/220°C.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. 
2. Prepare the Pork Chops:  In a shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmeasn cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge each pork chop in flour, then dip the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the pork chops to ensure they stick well.  
3. Prepare the Vegetables:  In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato, Brussel sprouts, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika.  Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet.  
4. Assemble and Bake:  Place the breaded pork chops on top of the vegetables on the baking sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F) and the vegetables are tender. 
5. Serve:  Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.  Serve the pork chops with the roasted vegetables and enjoy!

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

 

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Pork Chop Thickness:  If your pork chops are thicker, you may need to increase the cooking time.  Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature to 145°F.
• Vegetable Variety:  Feel Free to add or substitute other vegetables such as zucchini, broccoli, or green beans.
• Crispier Chops:  For extra crispy pork chops, you can broil them for the 2-3 minutes of cooking, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Yes, you can.  Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as bone-in pork chops may take a bit longer to cook.
