Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
Step 2: Rub the 4 bone-in pork chops evenly on both sides with the Cajun olive oil mixture, coating thoroughly.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, toss 1 large chopped red bell pepper, 1 medium sliced zucchini, and 1 medium red onion cut into wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well coated.
Step 4: Arrange the pork chops on the sheet pan and spread the seasoned vegetables around them in a single layer.
Step 5: Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through, until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 6: Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted vegetables.
