This sheet pan cheddar Parmesan pork chops & green beans recipe is naturally gluten free & full of garlicky, salty, comfort food deliciousness. The chops stay nice and juicy in this one pan 45 minute weeknight dinner recipe, while the salty tang of the cheddar & Parmesan provides the perfect counterpoint.
The price of pork appears to be on another downswing lately, so I picked up a pack of thick cut boneless pork chops earlier this week and decided to experiment with something a little different for today’s Sunday Scratchups (your weekly recipe from scratch around grocery store sales and always affordable ingredients)!
Happily, these Sheet Pan Cheddar Parmesan Pork Chops & Green Beans even exceeded my initial expectations: The chops stayed tender and juicy, while the salty tang of the cheddar & Parmesan provided the perfect counterpoint.
This easy sheet pan pork chops recipe also takes just 45 minutes start to finish, making it a delicious all-in-one weeknight dinner idea. (It’s also a great use for the nice thick pork chops you can slice yourself when larger cuts of pork go on sale.)
Sheet Pan Cheddar Parmesan Pork Chops & Green Beans
– for the pork chops
1.5-2 lbs thick cut boneless pork chops (4 chops)
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
2 slices sharp cheddar, halved (or about 3 oz total, if you’re slicing from a block)
– for the green beans
1 lb fresh green beans, washed, trimmed, and halved
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic (around four cloves)
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Season pork chops on both sides with seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder and place them in a single layer on one end of the sheet pan. Arrange green beans in as close to a single layer as possible on the other side of the sheet pan, then toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast pork chops and green beans at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip pork over and stir green beans, then top both green beans and pork chops with shredded Parmesan.
Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness), or until pork is cooked through to at least an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Add sliced cheddar to the top of each pork chop.
Broil for 2 minutes on high to brown the cheese, then remove pan from oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving with their built-in side of garlicky Parmesan green beans.
Who’s feeling like cheddar cheese pork chops?
This sheet pan pork chops & green beans recipe is naturally gluten free — and, it’s full of garlicky comfort food deliciousness. Low carb MashupDad just enjoyed his cheesy pork chop with some broccoli I cooked up separately, since green beans aren’t on his list, but somehow this entire sheet pan of pork chops and green beans still disappeared into my family in no time flat.
This is one way to get kids to eat their veggies — even avowed green-bean-hater High School Guy put away his fair share! By popular demand, this recipe is going into our regular dinner rotation. (Note: The green onions topping the pork chop are mainly for contrast in the photos; you don’t need to add them to your recipe.)

I'm sorry, no -- because it's so variable. Ingredient nutritional values vary so wildly by brand, etc, that I can't provide this with any confidence of standardization or reliability. Many people use things like MyFitnessPal to calculate their own, however. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/

I’m not a fan of pork chops, but these were delicious! I’d definitely make them again!

I ate my frozen green beans this way. I don't like frozen or fresh green beans. Looks like oven roasted Parmesan green beans are a winner.
