Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
- 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to reach temperature for 10–15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pat dry the pork chops with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place pork chops in the center of a rimmed sheet pan. Scatter asparagus, baby carrots, and sugar snap peas evenly around the pork, avoiding overcrowding.
- Brush about half of the maple glaze onto the pork chops. Toss the veggies with the remaining glaze to coat lightly.
- Roast in the oven for 18–22 minutes, flipping the pork chops and tossing the veggies halfway through. Pork is done when internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and juices run clear.
- Remove from oven and let pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
- Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon over the veggies before serving.
Notes
Patting the pork chops dry before glazing is essential for good browning and glaze adhesion. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming the vegetables. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork is cooked to 145°F. Rest pork for 5 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy. If veggies brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil after 15 minutes. Adjust glaze ingredients to taste, adding more mustard or thyme or a pinch of cayenne for heat.
