Sheet-Pan Cumin Pork Chops and Brussels Sprouts

Step 3 is confusing. Should the sprouts, etc and the pork be placed in separate cooking sheets?

HI;, Melissa: I love the sheet pan concept but I have not been able to find sheet pans that go in the dish washer. the care instructions all seem to specify "hand wash only." Can you recommend a particular make or type that goes in the dishwasher? The other option is if I don't especially care about the finish jus put aluminum sheet pans in the dishwasher?

Reynolds makes "pan-lining paper" that is tin foil on one side and parchment on the other. It's superb - eliminates messy cleanup, and the foil helps hold the shape (and the heat).

This was super easy and really good. Used broccoli instead of brussels sprouts, and cooked it all on the same sheet pan. 20 minutes was more than enough to cook everything.

No explanation on why using two pans so did it in one. Found out the hard way that if the pork needs to cook longer, the brussels get over cooked and the sage gets soggy from the meat juice.

I cooked tomato wedges, pistachios, onion wedges, and yellow squash beside the pork. The pork chops got to medium rare much more quickly than the recipe suggests. Thus, I recommend checking the meat temperature before the 1st 15 minute timer rings. It may be that flipping the chops at 12 minutes is best. This is a wonderful meal. The two chops go far when cut from the bone and sliced, and paired with multiple vegetables.

I made this! Didn't have whole cumin so I omitted but the flavour of the chops without it was amazing, I can't imagine how bomb it would have tasted with a more cumin-y flavour. I also let it sit out in the fridge with the rub over night, then let it come up to room temp before sticking it on a single sheet pan with the sprouts. 20 min total time in oven and it was perfect!

Aluminum foil is always your friend. No sheet pan clean up necessary when using aluminum foil.

Loved the spices on the pork. 15 minutes and probably only 5 on the second side will do next time. I did about 10 on the second side and the pork was just a little too done for my taste. Next time, maybe 12-13 and 8 will do. Roasted fennel sliced with olive oil, salt, pepper, a little splash of balsamic at the end on a separate pan was a great side.

Instead of cookie sheet, we used a pre-heated 12" cast iron pan with low sides. Both the Brussel Sprouts and pork chop shared the space. Both chop and veggies were cooked to perfection. Cast iron always allows easy clean-up. Easy. Tasty.

Tender pork, slightly charred bits of rub, crisp sage leaves...If you're reading this, I probably don't know you, but just know that I'd cut you out of my will, if you know this recipe exists, and you don't make it. This recipe is perfection. Simple but outstanding. So much flavor for such little effort and so few ingredients. Don't change a thing. This will become a regular in my rotation. A must have for any busy person who craves quick, easy, and delicious dinners.

Deeeeeliciousa Don't skimp. Get 1.5-inch chops with bone. I put some Yukon Gold potatoes cut in half to the pan giving then a 5-minute lead before adding the sprouts and sage. I

Overall this recipe was a success. The cumin flavored pork chops were delicious, and the roasted Brussels sprouts were a very good accompaniment. However, when I make this dish again—as I definitely will—I will omit the sage from the sprouts. The flavor of the cumin rub, along with a spritz of lemon juice, was all the seasoning necessary.

I added sliced apples to the sheet pan and they were a lovely addition.

Take the timing notes seriously. The flavor is very good, but following the recipe for the total of 20-30 minutes will provide a piece of shoe leather. I tested at 15 minutes; the thermometer didn't hit 135 so I put them back in for another 4 minutes. Big mistake--do not let this go longer than 15 minutes unless you've got thick chops and then test for temperature relentlessly.
