Ingredients
  

For the Parmesan-Crusted Pork:

4 boneless pork chops (about 6 oz each)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Roasted Carrots:

1 lb baby carrots (or regular carrots, peeled and cut into sticks)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Roasted Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby carrots with olive oil, honey, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the carrots evenly. Spread them out in a single layer on one half of a large baking sheet.

      Set Up a Breading Station for the Pork: In a shallow dish, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until well combined.

        Breadcrumb the Pork Chops: Dip each pork chop first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crust. Place the breaded pork chops on the other half of the baking sheet (next to the carrots).

          Drizzle and Bake: Drizzle the olive oil over the breaded pork chops to help them crisp up in the oven. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.

            Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, if desired, toss the roasted carrots with fresh chopped parsley for an added touch. Serve the Parmesan-crusted pork chops alongside the sweet roasted carrots.
