Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp olive oil to make glaze.

  4. Step 4: While pork cooks, toss 2 cups sliced carrots and 2 cups sliced parsnips with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Roast vegetables in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until tender and caramelized at edges.
  6. Step 6: Remove pork from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze.
