Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick, 6–8 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup honey (raw or clover honey preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (smooth style)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped)
  • 2 cups baby carrots (or regular carrots cut into sticks)
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (fresh if possible)
  • Optional: a sprinkle of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, and red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried rosemary or thyme. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
  3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in an oven-safe skillet until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chops and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and thyme until smooth.
  6. Return the skillet to medium heat and pour the honey Dijon sauce into the pan. Warm and thicken slightly for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Coat the pork chops with the sauce on both sides.
  7. Place the pork chops on top of the prepared vegetables on the baking sheet, or arrange vegetables around pork chops in the skillet if large enough. Pour any remaining sauce over everything.
  8. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and vegetables are tender and caramelized. Halfway through, gently stir the vegetables for even cooking.
  9. Remove from oven and let pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Serve pork chops with roasted vegetables, spooning extra glaze over the top.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking pork chops. Resting the meat after roasting keeps it juicy. If vegetables brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Dry pork chops before seasoning for a better sear. Honey Dijon sauce can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge.
