Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons white vinegar, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 bone-in pork chops in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the marinated pork chops on the same sheet pan with the sweet potatoes, reserving marinade.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 20 minutes, then brush pork chops with reserved marinade and turn sweet potatoes. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until pork registers 145°F and sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Let pork chops rest 5 minutes before serving with sweet potatoes.
