What to Serve with Baked Pork Chops

The great thing about this recipe is it has lots of veggies cooked in with it already!

If you’d like some extras we recommend something green to give a pop of colour and to compliment the sweet potato and apple flavours.

Try burnt broccoli, slow-cooked collard greens, some steamed kale, boiled peas or sautéed savoy cabbage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can substitute pork steaks or pork loin for pork chops, but cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the meat.

Yes, I sometimes use boneless pork chops for this recipe. Depending on thickness, they usually take 5-10 minutes less to bake than bone-in chops, so pop your vegetables to bake for longer in the oven before adding the boneless chops.

The most reliable way is to use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the pork chops is 63°C/145°F.

If you don’t have a meat thermometer, you can cut a piece of pork to check inside for readiness. The colour should no longer be pink but look cooked through, with the juices running clear.

Yes, as long as the brand of wholegrain mustard is gluten free. Ingredients vary by brand so always check the label.
