Once the vegetables have roasted for 15-20 minutes, open the oven door. Use a rubber spatula to push the vegetables toward the edges of the pan, creating space in the center to lay the pork chops. Transfer the pork chops to the center of the baking sheet. Roast the pork chops and vegetables until the vegetables are slightly charred and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140°F, 7-8 minutes.
PRO TIP Using boneless pork chops? Keep an eye on them, as they will cook faster than bone-in pork chops.
