Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (15 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1.5 pounds baby red or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (14 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar to prepare the glaze. Set aside.
  3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Brush the pork chops generously with the maple mustard glaze. Transfer the skillet or baking sheet to the oven and roast for 8-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. While the pork roasts, toss the potatoes with melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
  7. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges but tender inside.
  8. Remove pork chops from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve the pork chops with roasted potatoes, spooning any extra glaze over the top.

Notes

If the glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water or apple cider vinegar to loosen it before serving. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F for juiciness. Avoid crowding potatoes on the baking sheet to ensure crispness. For dairy-free, omit butter or substitute with plant-based alternative.
