Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 pound halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelized and tender.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 4 bone-in pork chops with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Step 3: Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove chops and keep warm.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and whisk together 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Cook for 2 minutes until thickened and glossy.
  5. Step 5: Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon the honey-mustard glaze over them for 1 minute to coat well. Serve each chop with a generous portion of roasted Brussels sprouts.
