Sweet Thai chili sauce, sweet soy glaze, and hoisin team up for a spicy-sweet-umami triple threat atop these juicy pan-seared pork chops. On the side is a colorful caramelized jumble of roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, and carrots showered with nutty sesame seeds for crunchy contrast. Before serving, a sprinkle of fresh scallions and squeeze of lime juice tops off this boldly seasoned, veggie-forward meal.

Cooking Oil
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Halve, peel, and cut onion into 1-inch-thick wedges.
• Toss sweet potatoes, carrots, and onion on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between two sheets; roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and tender, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in hoisin, chili sauce, ¼ cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings), 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze (5 TBSP for 4), and juice from half the lime. (Be sure to measure the sweet soy glaze—we sent more!) • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork and sweet potato–carrot jumble between plates in separate sections. Spoon sauce over pork. • Sprinkle sesame seeds over sweet potato–carrot jumble. Garnish everything with scallion greens and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
