Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat pork chops dry, then rub with 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place chops on a baking sheet and roast for 20-22 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  2. Step 2: While pork cooks, shred 12 oz cabbage and 1/4 cup finely sliced red onion into a bowl. Whisk together 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp dijon mustard. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Let pork rest for 5 minutes before serving. Arrange cabbage slaw on plates, top with roasted pork chops, and drizzle any pan juices over the top. Serve immediately.
