Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Cover, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Mash with sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While sweet potatoes cook, place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 5-second intervals until just softened, about 15 seconds total. • Stir in honey and a pinch of salt.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then rub all over with BBQ Seasoning. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. (For 4 servings, cook in batches if necessary.) • Turn off heat.
• While pork cooks, place broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in wrap. Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. TIP: No microwave? No problem! Cook broccoli in a medium pot of salted water until tender, 2-4 minutes; drain. • Carefully uncover (watch out for steam!) and toss broccoli with lemon zest, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
• Divide sweet potatoes, broccoli, and pork between plates; dollop pork with honey butter. Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The honey-butter and BBQ seasoning combo is a standout — sweet, smoky, and genuinely delicious on the pork 🍯.
- Ease of prep: This meal comes together quickly and is easy enough for beginner cooks to nail on the first try.
- Suggestions: Roast the broccoli in the oven instead of microwaving for better texture; add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of maple syrup to the sweet potato mash to deepen the flavor. Some preferred the honey butter on the sweet potatoes rather than the pork — worth trying!
- Leftovers: Portions are generous enough that some had leftovers, though the sweet potatoes were occasionally noted as small.
- Pork: Watch the cook time closely — the cutlets are thin and can dry out quickly if left even a minute too long.
- Sweet potatoes: The sour cream in the mash surprised many in a good way; those who prefer a sweeter profile can reduce it and add more butter or maple syrup.
Reviews from our home cooks
So, so yummy. I'm not usually the biggest fan of pork but these chops were excellent and the mashed sweet potatoes were sooo delicious. Who knew honey butter was so good on so many things? Will definitely be ordering this one again. Small disclaimer: I did roast the broccoli instead of steam it (we just prefer it that way) and we added biscuits leftover from last night's HF meal.
Excellent meal! Loved the honey butter on the pork cutlets and I didn't know you could cook broccoli this way, so simple! Mashed sweet potatoes are becoming one of our favorites. I used a trick I learned from another one of your recipes and added a touch of maple syrup too.
FANTASTIC. Best pork cutlets I've ever had. Just melted in the mouth, and the mashed sweet potatoes and lemon butter broccoli were the perfect sides for it.
The combination of the barbecue spices and honey butter is pretty addictive. It really makes the pork delicious and it doesn't hurt the mashed sweet potatoes either!
The pork cutlets and sweet potatoes were great. The butter usage seemed excessive. We actually ended up wasting a lot of butter because we didn't need it pooling on the cutlets. The broccoli seemed a bit raw yet. I think it would have been better oven roasted or quick boiled with a little butter and salt/pepper.
loved the sour cream in the sweet potatoes - less sweet which my family liked. the honey butter was a delicious finish to the pork chops
Adding the sour cream to the sweet potatoes and the honey butter to the pork is genius; subtle flavors but they enhance the whole meal.
Really good! The mashed sweet potatoes were the super star. The lemony broccoli was okay, but probably not needed. The pork came out a little dry too, but that's probably because I cooked it for too long. All in all, not bad!
This was a good, healthy recipe that we enjoyed. I recommend the honey butter on the mashed sweet potatoes as well as the meat.
Me and the family really loved this one a new way to cook pork chops, very flavorful. First time having mashed sweet potatoes with butter and sour cream delicious.
