Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Wrap the pork chops tightly in bacon: This will help keep the chops moist and prevent them from drying out. Make sure to use good quality bacon that is not too thick or thin.
  • Season the pork chops and cauliflower generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Roast the pork chops and cauliflower together: This is a great way to save time and energy. Plus, the cauliflower will absorb the delicious flavors from the pork chops.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped pork chops and cauliflower sheet pan dinner is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, the cauliflower is roasted to perfection, and the whole meal comes together in just one pan.
