Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each) bone-in pork chops
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 5, minced garlic cloves
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb, halved baby red potatoes
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to make the glaze.
- Step 2: Place 1 lb halved baby red potatoes in a roasting pan. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Roast potatoes for 25 minutes until golden and tender.
