• 0.5 tsp kosher salt

How to make Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops with Roasted Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, toss the 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.75 tsp kosher salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, pat the 4 boneless pork chops completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides with 0.5 tsp kosher salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
5. In a small bowl, prepare the honey garlic glaze by whisking together 0.25 cup honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar until well combined.
6. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet.
7. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and give them a toss.
8. Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Pour the prepared honey garlic glaze over the pork chops. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, turning the chops once or twice to coat them thoroughly with the thickening glaze.
9. Transfer the skillet with the glazed pork chops to the oven alongside the sweet potatoes. Continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The sweet potatoes should be tender and lightly caramelized at this point.
10. Remove both the pork chops and sweet potatoes from the oven. Let the pork chops rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before serving; this allows the juices to redistribute, keeping them tender and moist.
11. Serve the honey garlic glazed pork chops immediately, spooning extra glaze from the skillet over them, alongside the perfectly roasted sweet potatoes for a complete and flavorful American dinner.
