Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 large peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, and 3 minced garlic cloves to create the glaze.
Step 3: Season 4 bone-in pork chops evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium and brush pork chops generously with half of the maple glaze. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze, until pork registers 145°F internal temperature.
Step 5: Remove pork chops and let rest 5 minutes. Serve alongside the roasted sweet potatoes for a balanced, flavorful meal.
