I love a good sheet pan dinner. There’s something about having everything organized on one pan that feels very satisfying.
This recipe is a blend of sweet, tart, and savory. Boneless pork chops, sweet potatoes and cranberries are a wonderful combination, especially when you add a bit of gorgonzola cheese and a balsamic glaze.
You can skip the cheese and the glaze if you’d rather. There are no rules here! This is your dinner to create as you like. But this easy recipe will get you started.
Pair it with Orange and Red Onion Salad for a super-flavorful combination.
Sheet pan dinners are very convenient and make clean-up a breeze.

- 1-2 Tbs. balsamic glaze optional
- ½ cup gorgonzola cheese
Instructions

- Place in a 400° oven for 20 minutes until meat is cooked through.

How do you keep the pork chops from tasting dry? Every time I bake them, they are dry. Chicken breasts are the same way for me but I marinate them now.
