    When cooked just right, pork chops make for a juicy, tender main course that will have everyone cleaning their plates. Are you wondering what to serve with pork chops to round out such a delicious meal? From classic potatoes to indulgent French onion soup to roasted veggies and more, we have the perfect side dish or two to complement those tasty chops!

    Spinach casserole, corn casserole, slaw, and fruit salad.

    The right side dish has the power to take an entire meal to the next level. And if you’ve been wondering what to serve with pork chops for the best combination of flavors and textures, you’re in the right spot!

    Craving a classic side dish? It’s hard to go wrong with potatoes, whether you like them baked, mashed, or roasted! Want to add some greens? Brussels sprouts, spinach casserole, or roasted veggies make a great side dish. For classic comfort, cornbread or mac & cheese never fail.

    There are so many amazing options that will complement tender, delicious pork chops. From family meals to dinner parties, this list has the best sides (or two) to elevate your entire meal!

    1. Baked Sweet Potatoes

    Get perfectly-fluffy baked sweet potatoes every time without wrapping them in tin foil! Prep only takes a few minutes, then simply roast at 400°F for up to an hour, add your favorite toppings to this easy side dish, and enjoy.

    2. Roasted Brussel Sprouts

    Have a bag of frozen brussels sprouts hanging out in the back of your freezer? Thanks to the air fryer, you can cook this nutritious veggie to crispy, golden, caramelized perfection in just 15 minutes flat!

    3. Macaroni And Cheese

    When you need a fool-proof recipe that’s sure to be a crowd pleaser, this baked Velveeta mac and cheese is always a hit! A secret spice ingredient elevates the flavor of the cheese sauce for some truly indulgent comfort.

    4. Seasoned Rice

    The trick to copycat Texas Roadhouse seasoned white rice is to toast the rice first in butter, then cook it in broth and spices for the ultimate burst of flavor! Best of all, you can go from pantry to table in less than half an hour.

    5. Baked Potato

    Is there a more classic side dish than a baked potato with super crispy skin on the outside that’s still fluffy and tender on the inside? You can add any toppings you like, but they’re so good, all you really need is a little butter, salt, and pepper!

    6. Potato Salad

    This recipe made with simple ingredients tastes so fresh, you’ll never want to buy the premade stuff again! The potatoes boil for about 20 minutes, which gives you time to prep the rest of the ingredients. After that, simply cool the potatoes, mix it all together, and serve!

    7. Mashed Potatoes

    Did someone say creamy dreamy mashed potatoes? With this no-lumps-ever-again recipe, you’ll have silky-smooth potatoes that are delightfully flavorful and guaranteed to have everyone reaching for extra helpings!

    8. Baked Stuffing

    You don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy stuffing! This recipe adds a few extra ingredients to a store-bought stuffing mix base for a super easy recipe that really takes the flavor to the next level. 

    9. Sweet Potato Fries

    Need an easy side the whole family will love that can go from freezer to table in about 10 minutes? If you have a bag of frozen sweet potato fries and an air fryer, you’re about to meet your new favorite recipe!

    10. Rolls

    If you’ve never had homemade dinner rolls, you won’t believe how fluffy, light, and buttery they are! The dough is oh-so-simple to make, and you can brush them with regular butter or garlic butter for that final savory touch.

    11. Asparagus

    When your delicious pork chops call for a simple veggie, this 3-ingredient air fryer asparagus is the perfect side dish. All you need is olive oil and a little lemon pepper seasoning for wonderfully crisp and flavorful asparagus.

    12. Spinach Casserole

    You can’t go wrong with a creamy, cheesy baked spinach casserole. This cozy comfort food has surprising layers of flavor and just a hint of spice that will keep you reaching for more. You can also serve it as spinach dip!

    13. Fried Apples

    Add a little sweetness to your meal with Southern fried apples! Butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon make these tender apple slices sing, and the entire dish is ready in less than 30 minutes.

    14. Cornbread

    This half store bought, half homemade recipe results in the most delicious cornbread you’ve ever tasted! Every slice is moist and fluffy, and the 5-ingredient dish is an absolute breeze to throw together.

    15. Homemade Applesauce

    18. Slaw

    For a classic summertime side, you can’t go wrong with red cabbage slaw! Crunchy red cabbage, carrots, and sunflower seeds with green onions and fresh parsley tossed in a mayo and apple cider vinegar dressing is always a winner.

    19. French Onion Soup

    When you truly want to treat your family or impress dinner guests, French onion soup is a sure bet. Who can resist beef broth loaded with caramelized onions and topped with melted cheese and a slice of baguette?

    20. Broccoli

    The key to perfect broccoli is getting the cooking time just right. Learn how to achieve that perfect crisp-tender texture every time by simply boiling your broccoli for a few minutes. Add some salt and pepper to this simple side dish and serve!

    21. Corn Pudding

    This is the kind of dish that’s nice enough to serve at a holiday feast but easy enough to make on a busy weeknight. No matter the occasion, everyone will love creamy and slightly sweet Southern corn pudding casserole!

    22. Whipped Sweet Potatoes

    28. Fried Rice
