  4. Step 4: Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 3 minutes on each side until browned.
  6. Step 6: Brush each pork chop generously with the maple glaze, then transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. Step 7: Remove pork chops and let rest 5 minutes before serving with the roasted sweet potatoes.
