Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 cups cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, and 1/2 tsp salt; spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Season 4 bone-in pork chops with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Remove chops and keep warm. In the same pan, add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Carefully add 1/3 cup whiskey to deglaze the pan, simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly, then stir in 1/4 cup pure maple syrup and 1 tbsp butter until glossy and thickened.
  6. Step 6: Return pork chops to the pan, spoon glaze over them for 1 minute to coat and warm through.
  7. Step 7: Serve pork chops alongside roasted sweet potatoes, drizzled with remaining whiskey maple glaze.
