ingredients for Sheet Pan Spicy BBQ Pork Chops and Potatoes

Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll need to have these ingredients on hand to make these delicious baked bbq pork chops:

  • Pork Chops – Each chop should be approximately 4 ounces each and about 1- 1.5 inches thick. Having a consistent size helps ensure that the pork chops will all cook in the same time period. 
  • Spices – You’ll need chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Olive oil – You could use another light tasting oil if you prefer.
  • Potatoes – We use both sweet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes, both peeled and cut.
  • Red onion – You could use yellow onion if that’s all you have on hand.
  • BBQ sauce – Any flavor or brand will work. We like one that is a little spicy, like our homemade sauce.
  • Dijon mustard – For a little extra flavor and a slight kick.
  • Lime – Lime adds a bit of freshness to the recipe.
  • Fresh cilantro – If you’re one of those people who can’t stand cilantro then you can skip this.

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2 – Season the chops. As the oven heats, make the dry rub in a small bowl by mixing together the chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. 

Next, lightly pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and then divide 1 tablespoon of olive oil between them, coating all around. Split the dry rub seasoning between the two chops an rub it in on all sides.

Step 3 – Prep the potatoes. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.

Once seasoned, spread them onto half of a large baking sheet and then place the pork chops next to them on the other side.

Step 4 – Bake the potatoes and chops. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 5 – Make the BBQ mixture and finish baking. As they bake, combine the BBQ sauce, Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of lime juice (save the rest of the lime for later)  in a small bowl.

After 15 minutes are up, carefully remove the chops and potatoes from the oven and then spread the BBQ sauce over top of each of the chops before placing them back in the oven for 5 additional minutes. 

Check pork chops to ensure they are 145 degrees F before you stop baking.

Once the pork chops are cooked through serve them immediately with a squeeze of the remaining lime and a garnish of cilantro.

Best BBQ Sauce to Use 

We have a great recipe for homemade bbq sauce. It’s spicy with a hint of sweet, rather than being super sweet like a lot of store bought options. For this recipe we suggest a spicy BBQ to compliment the spices in the dry rub, but you can use whatever your favorite brand and sweetness level.

How Long to Bake Pork Chops 

Bake times for pork chops can vary some based on their overall thickness. For most of our recipes, this one included, we tend to use thinner cuts of about 1 inch thickness. 

When you use about an inch thick pork chop, you only need about 15 to 20 minutes to bake them to perfection. 

You should always check with a thermometer. Pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

How to Make it Ahead of Time 

Like most pork chops, these bbq pork chops are best served fresh from the oven. When you reheat chops, they tend to dry out.

Still, if you want to make them ahead of time, you  can store them in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. 

To reheat, we recommend cutting them into slices and microwaving for about 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. If you prefer, you can heat them in a  skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
