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

Penny

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).

Nicky

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.

RMA

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!

Jaci

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

Marsha

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.

Paul

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.

Erin

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.

Susan C

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

Cat D

This was fantastic. Made exactly to recipe, I felt it was a little too much cumin flavor. My ground cumin as very fresh, so maybe that contributed. Next time I'll dial it back a bit and see how that works. Marinated the pork for three hours in the fridge. The lemon at the end was key to pulling all the flavors together.Along with tongs, quarter sheets are my most used kitchen item.

Jody

I too doubled the rub b/c I had 'big boy' chops. Made with Kansas City chops & they remained moist & tender in a 450 degree oven. Did with a side of roasted fingerling potatoes. I thought this was delicious & will definitely make again

Peg

Really tasty and super easy! Doubled the rub since we had big boy porkchops

Nadia

Hate to be that guy but I made this with sweet potato cubes instead of brussels sprouts and it turned out great! I put the potato in for 15 min before the pork, then did the pork for about 16 min total as my chops were more like 1 inch. I doubted that this method would make for tender chops but it worked perfectly.

Stephanie

WAY too much cumin! You'd better love cumin because this dish is very one-note. I used ground cumin that I made by roasting and grinding cumin seeds, so maybe that upped the cumin flavor, but wow. All about the cumin. I know it says cumin in the title, but I thought it would be more balanced.

karen

substituted ground chipotle for the red pepper flakes & quartered carrots for the sprouts (made sprouts from a different recipe). carrots will need an extra five to ten minutes of baking. was delicious. and picky eater friend loved it so much. will make it again.

ATM

Delicious. Used only one pan. I had a huge head of broccoli from the farmer's market and used that instead of sprouts. Put them on one side of the pan and the chops on another side. Also threw in slices from a staymen winesap apple and 1/4 of an onion that was in my fridge. I cut the time by 2 minutes but should have cut it more. Definitely check the temperature of your pork chops when you flip them.

TheMuskrateer

I had frozen brussel sprouts on hand that didn't quite thaw in time, but oiled and cooked them with the chops on the same sheet. Didn't have cumin seeds so I subbed-in an extra 1/4tsp of ground cumin. Came out tasting great still.

Marc

I usually add a little olive oil to the mix for the pork chops, or increase the amount of garlic, or both. I think there needs to be more of the mix to fully cover the pork chops.

Katrina

Made it on one big sheet pan and added carrots. It was good!

Vicki G

Do this either at convec 425 or for less timeIt gets overdone in our oven at the listed time

Leslie

Ok, we cheated. We grilled the chops. The rub is delicious! Of course, roasted Brussels Sprouts taste better with maple syrup crystals sprinkled on them! Will repeat!

MA

The sprouts came out delicious. The pork chops didn't brown and were chewy,

Kelly

Made this all on one pan and it took about 20 minutes for 1.5" pork chops to finish, and the sprouts were perfect. We didn't care for the flavor of the rub at all, but the brussels sprouts were delicious as were the crispy sage leaves. Will make again with a different rub.

Jim Kershaw

I spread four bone in chops on one half of the sheet and broccoli and Brussels sprouts on the other. The outcome was perfection. The timing recommended was next to perfect less two minutes. Awesome outcome.

twosofas

Like other said, reduce cooking time. Followed recipe and found the pork a little overdone.
