Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick, 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1.5 tbsp jarred garlic)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for veggies)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (for veggies)
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper (for veggies)
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss carrots, bell pepper, onion, and zucchini with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and Italian herbs. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  5. While pork is searing, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, butter, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
  6. Once pork is seared, pour half the glaze over the chops in the skillet.
  7. Transfer skillet with pork chops to the oven. Place veggies on a separate rack.
  8. Roast pork chops for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Stir veggies halfway through for even caramelization.
  9. Remove skillet from oven. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
  10. Brush pork chops with remaining honey garlic glaze.
  11. Plate pork chops with roasted veggies and spoon extra glaze over everything if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Boneless pork chops can be substituted, but reduce oven time by a couple minutes. Use any seasonal veggies you have on hand. Let pork rest before slicing for maximum juiciness. The glaze can be thickened by simmering or loosened with a splash of vinegar. Leftovers are great for sandwiches and keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
