Pork chops tend to cook quickly, so I like choosing my sides before I start cooking, and getting them prepped early! Most sides such as mashed potatoes and salads can be prepared ahead.

When planning out sides, make sure you're leaving the right appliances free! I've made the mistake of planning too many roasted sides and not having the oven space more times than I want to admit.

A great way to pick sides is to pick them based on the sauce you'll serve the pork with. Cranberry sauce goes best with green vegetables and sweet potatoes; gravy is dreamy with mashed potatoes and carrots!
