Sheet Pan Pork & Veg with asparagus and lazy tzatziki

 

Ingredients

• rice
• Asparagus (trimmed)
• Black olives
• jalapeño slices
•  thin pork cutlets

 

Broth Rice (Flavor Upgrade)

Cook your rice in homemade broth instead of water.

When it’s done:

Fluff rice

Squeeze fresh lemon

Tiny drizzle olive oil

Small pinch oregano (optional)

Salt only if broth needs it

Let it rest covered 5 minutes. It’ll get glossy and fluffy.

 

Sheet Pan Pork & Veg

Preheat: 425°F / 220°C

On sheet pan:

Asparagus (trimmed)

Sliced green pepper

Light jalapeño slices

Drizzle olive oil + salt + pepper.

Roast 5 minutes first.

Then add thin pork cutlets.
Roast 8–10 more minutes until just done.

Rest pork 5 minutes before slicing. (Important — keeps it juicy.)

 

Lazy Tzatziki (No Cucumber Needed)

In a bowl:

½–¾ cup yogurt

1 tbsp olive oil

Squeeze lemon

Pinch salt

Dried oregano

Optional: tiny grated garlic OR garlic powder

Stir. Taste. Adjust salt/lemon.

That’s it. It will taste clean, tangy, creamy.

 

Warm the Pita

Last 2–3 minutes of oven time:

Wrap pita loosely in foil

Warm in oven

OR

30 seconds per side in dry pan

Soft and pliable is the goal.
