Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
4 3-ounce pork loin chops
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 cup diced onion, divided
2 cups unpeeled sliced potatoes, divided
2 cups sliced carrots, divided
1 teaspoon salt-free seasoning, divided

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Tear off 4 sheets of foil, about as large as the baking sheet.
2. Spray the first sheet of foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place a pork chop in the center of the foil and season it with ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Add 1/4 cup diced onion, 1/2 cup potato slices and ½ cup carrot slices. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt-free seasoning.
3. Bring the short ends of the foil together and roll them down, leaving some space between the food and foil. Then repeat with remaining ends of the foil. Place foil pack on baking sheet. Repeat until you have prepared all pork chops.
4. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the center of the pork chops reach 145 F.
5. Serve warm.
