Pork chops are a dinner staple at our house. But sometimes, the perfect side dish can be what you’re looking for. Don’t worry—I have listed all my favorite sides to try.

So, if you’re in the mood for something light and fresh, options like grilled broccoli smoked zucchini or a crisp roasted cabbage salad with brown butter croutons will hit the spot. For those craving heartier sides, you can’t go wrong with baked sweet potatoes or crispy potato wedges.
