Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 2 peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1/2-inch wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: Arrange sweet potato wedges on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Rub pork chops all over with 1 tbsp olive oil and then evenly coat with the herb and spice mixture.
  5. Step 5: After the sweet potatoes have roasted 15 minutes, remove the pan from oven and push sweet potatoes to one side. Place pork chops on the other side of the pan. Return to oven and roast for an additional 15-18 minutes until pork reaches internal temperature of 145°F and sweet potatoes are tender and edges slightly caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted sweet potatoes.
