Maple-Dijon Glazed Pork Chops with Harvest Vegetables

This variation elevates the classic apple and pork pairing with a sticky, savory-sweet glaze made from maple syrup and sharp Dijon mustard. The sweetness of the roasted root vegetables complements the tangy sauce for a perfectly balanced autumn meal.

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops (approx. 1-inch thick)
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
2 crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cored and sliced
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper directly on the baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the sheet from the oven, push the potatoes to one side, and add the zucchini. Toss zucchini with a little salt and pepper. Return to oven for another 15-20 minutes until all vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    While vegetables roast, season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic to create the glaze.

  6. 6

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove pork to a plate.

  7. 7

    Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the sliced apples. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

  8. 8

    Pour the maple-Dijon mixture into the skillet with the apples. Let it bubble and thicken slightly for about 1 minute.

  9. 9

    Return the pork chops to the pan, turning them to coat in the glaze. Serve the glazed chops and apples alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and zucchini.
