Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season pork chops with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp fresh thyme. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chops for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1 tbsp water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the glaze thickens. Brush over the pork chops.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Meanwhile, toss brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp thyme. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
