Instructions

Preparation

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a rack in the middle.
    Ensuring the oven is properly heated is crucial for even cooking.

  2. Prep Ingredients

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings.

Cooking

  1. Sear Pork Chops

    In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
    Searing the pork chops adds flavor and helps them stay juicy.

  2. Cook Sweet Potatoes

    In the same skillet, add a bit of oil if needed, then cook the diced sweet potatoes until slightly browned, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. Combine and Bake

    Place the seared pork chops on top of the sweet potatoes in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender.

Serve and Enjoy!

  1. Rest and Garnish

    Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, if desired.

  2. Serve Warm

    Serve the one-pan pork chops and sweet potatoes hot, and enjoy the delicious flavors!

Note

  • For a flavor boost, marinate the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, thyme, and a splash of balsamic vinegar before cooking.
  • Make sure to slice the sweet potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate as the pork chops.
  • Feel free to add other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips to the pan for a more varied flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a crispy texture, broil the dish for a few minutes after baking to brown the pork chops and sweet potatoes.
  • To keep the dish moist, cover it with foil while baking, then uncover it towards the end to allow the pork chops to brown.
