Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, 6–8 ounces / 170-225g each)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 150g), washed and trimmed
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw honey preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, about 1 teaspoon total, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
  3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt (about ½ teaspoon per side) and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Toss broccoli florets and carrot sticks with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly on your skillet or sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the pork chops.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add pork chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown but not cooked through. If using a baking sheet, sear chops in a separate pan first.
  6. Place the seared pork chops in the center of the pan surrounded by the veggies. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the pork chops and veggies.
  7. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and veggies are tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Remove the pan and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

[‘Do not skip searing the pork chops to lock in flavor and achieve a golden crust.’, ‘Pat pork chops dry before seasoning to ensure a good sear.’, ‘Use high heat (425°F) for roasting to get nicely caramelized veggies and thickened sauce.’, ‘Let pork chops rest after roasting to keep them juicy.’, ‘Watch garlic carefully to avoid burning; mixing it into the sauce helps prevent bitter notes.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming veggies; roast in batches if needed.’, ‘For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.’, ‘For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.’, ‘Optional broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.’]
