If you think pork chops are dull, think again. In this recipe, the tender cut takes on a shine, literally. You’ll be coating them in a glistening sweet glaze that marries caramelized sugar with herb-y thyme and a hint of cayenne heat. On the side, we’ve got roasted carrots, onions, and parsnips—yep, parsnips (trust us, you’ll love ’em).

Instructions

Preheat and Prep

1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel carrots and parsnip. Slice into ¼-inch rounds on a slight diagonal. Halve, peel, and slice onion into ½-inch wedges. Strip leaves from thyme and discard stems. Roughly chop leaves. Mince or grate garlic.

Roast Veggies

2

Toss carrots, parsnip, onion, half the thyme, 1 TBSP olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in oven until tender and lightly browned, 23-25 minutes.

Sear Pork Chops

3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Pat pork dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt and pepper. Add to pan and sear until browned, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.

Make Glaze

4

Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add garlic and toss until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in a pinch of cayenne (to taste— it’s spicy), 1 TBSP sugar, remaining thyme, stock concentrate, and ½ cup water. Scrape up any browned bits from bottom. Bring to a simmer and let bubble until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Coat Pork Chops

5

Return pork to pan and turn to coat in glaze. Using tongs, pick up each piece and gently shake above pan to let excess glaze drip off.

Finish and Plate

6

Thinly slice pork. Divide veggies and pork between plates, then drizzle with any remaining glaze.
