Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 4 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; whisk to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 bone-in pork chops in a shallow dish and coat evenly with the herb marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, place 2 large peeled and chopped sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook for 15-18 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Step 4: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove pork chops from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F and juices run clear.
  5. Step 5: Drain sweet potatoes and mash with 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk until smooth and creamy; season with a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Step 6: Serve grilled pork chops alongside the sweet potato mash for a balanced paleo meal.
