This sheet pan pork and potato recipe is one of our weeknight go-to sheet pan recipes.
It’s delicious, incredibly easy to cook, and ready in about 40 minutes. After a little bit of prep work to cut up the vegetables, all of the ingredients go on a sheet pan, in the oven, and are then ready for serving.
Prep is easy, serving is easy, and clean up is easy. It’s all easy and that’s great, right?
While this sheet pan pork and potato meal is an easy recipe, there are a few ways you can customize the recipe to your own taste. We’re answering a few questions you may have and providing suggestions on how you can tweak the recipe below. Keep reading for more information, or skip ahead to the ingredients to get cooking!
We used pork tenderloin for our sheet pan pork and potato recipe. We like pork tenderloin because it is a lean, nutritious meat that roasts at the perfect rate to match the potatoes and vegetables that are also on the sheet pan.
If you don’t have pork tenderloin, you can also use boneless or bone-in pork chops for this recipe. If you pick pork chops that are too thin, they’ll cook to quickly, so make sure they are cut at 3/4″ or thicker if you are going to use them in our sheet pan pork and potato recipe.
Lake Geneva Country Meats has a variety of pre-marinated pork tenderloins that are convenient ways to have flavorful pork without extra steps of seasoning at home. For this sheet pan pork and potato dinner, we used our butter garlic pork tenderloin.
The butter and garlic flavor combination is lovely on pork and matches well with the roast vegetables. Butter + garlic is just plain yummy, and for an easy dinner like this, that’s exactly what we want!
If you don’t have one of our pre-marinated pork tenderloins, you can season your pork a number of different ways:
These are of course, just our suggestions, there are a ton of different seasonings you could use to make this dish. Pick whatever you think tastes best!
We used red potatoes for the potato portion of our sheet pan pork and potato dish. Depending on the size of you red potatoes, you can either cut them in halves or quarters. A good rule of thumb for how big your potatoes are is that they should be “bite-sized.”
I can never tell exactly how big a 1″ chunk of potato is, but I know roughly what bite-sized is, so that’s why I recommend bite-sized pieces. This size will roast evenly and all the way through so you won’t get any bites of raw potato.
If you don’t have red potatoes, gold potatoes are another excellent roasting potato, or you could use baby potatoes from a company like The Little Potato Company or your local produce farm!
As an absolute last resort, you can use Idaho potatoes. They’re not the best for roasting, so if you’re going to use them make sure you cut them into very small pieces so they cook through!
Heck yeah you can – in fact the more veggies the better in our opinion!
We used cauliflower in this sheet pan pork and potato meal in addition to the potatoes. We love roast cauliflower and it cooks perfectly with the pork and potatoes.
Here are some other ideas on vegetables you could use in this sheet pan meal:
This recipe will feed 2 – 4 people depending on appetites. If you are big meat eaters, we do recommend adding a second pork tenderloin on the sheet pan. Adding one more pork tenderloin will not affect the cooking time.
As we’ve said before, this sheet pan pork and potato recipe is super customizable, so if you love eating vegetables, adding more vegetables will also help feed more people. Feel free to adjust all the quantities to feed your specific group of eaters!
A quick and easy way to make this sheet pan pork and potato recipe even more yummy is to add a sauce or gravy on top of the finished meal.
We did not add anything on top and it was totally delicious. But, if you’re bored while the sheet pan pork and potato is roasting, you could whip up a little something to serve with the meal:
We cook on sheet pans all the time. Roast vegetables are a standard side dish at our house, and quick sheet pan meals (more of those below!) are a weekly occurrence, so we’ve invested in quality sheet pans.
I highly recommend Nordic Ware Aluminum Sheet Pans. They are durable, easy to clean, and convey heat evenly. Basically everything you want from a sheet pan plus a Viking logo on the pan!

Add the cut up potatoes and cauliflower florets to a mixing bowl. Add oil, salt, and pepper (or your preferred seasoning) and mix together to coat the vegetables with the oil and seasoning.
If you are not using a pre-marinated pork tenderloin, season the pork tenderloin to your taste, as discussed in the “how did you season your pork” note above.
Place the butter garlic pork pork tenderloin on the middle of the sheet pan and then evenly spread the potatoes and cauliflower on around the pork. Be careful not to pile the vegetables on top of each other.
Place into an oven preheated to 425ºF and cook for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the pork reaches 145ºF.
If the pork cooks faster than the vegetables, you can remove the pork from the oven and wrap it in foil to rest while the vegetables continue cooking.
Also, if you like crispier vegetables, you can turn the oven’s broiler on high for 3 – 5 minutes at the end of the cook time. Be careful not to overcook the pork!
Once the pork is cooked, remove from the oven, and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into serving sized pieces.
Enjoy the very tasty and very easy sheet pan pork and potato meal!
