Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless) Choose thicker chops (3/4 inch to 1 inch) for best results.
  • 2 cups Sweet potatoes Peeled or unpeeled, cut into bite-size chunks.
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce Use your favorite BBQ sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Used for roasting sweet potatoes.
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Optional chili powder for more kick.

  • 1 cup Red onion wedges Optional
  • 1 cup Bell pepper strips Optional
  • 1 cup Corn cut into rounds Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easier cleanup.
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-size chunks, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
  3. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, then spread in a single layer on the sheet pan.
  4. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes to give them a head start.
  5. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or paprika.
  6. After 15 minutes, remove the pan, scoot the sweet potatoes aside, and add the pork chops.
  7. Brush BBQ sauce over the pork chops and add a spoon or two of BBQ sauce to the sweet potatoes. Avoid drowning them, just coat lightly.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 12 to 18 minutes, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  9. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving for maximum juiciness.

Notes

Watch the BBQ sauce to prevent burning; add a lighter first layer then a second layer in the last 5 minutes if needed. If you prefer added veggies, broccoli or green beans can be tossed in oil and added during the last part of cooking.
