Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place the pork chops in a Dutch oven and brush the honey glaze over the chops, reserving some for later. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and bake for 30 minutes.
- While the pork chops are cooking, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- After the pork chops have cooked for 30 minutes, remove the lid and brush the remaining honey glaze over the chops. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are caramelized and cooked through, and the sweet potatoes are tender and crispy.
- Serve the honey glazed pork chops with the roasted sweet potatoes and enjoy!
The history of Honey Glazed Dutch Oven Pork Chops with a side of roasted sweet potatoes can be traced back to traditional Dutch oven cooking methods, where pork chops were slow-cooked to perfection. The dish has evolved over time, with chefs adding a sweet and savory honey glaze to enhance the flavor of the pork chops. The addition of roasted sweet potatoes as a side dish complements the richness of the pork, creating a well-balanced and satisfying meal. This classic combination is popular in regions known for their hearty and comforting cuisine, such as the American Midwest and Southern United States. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in family-owned restaurants and local diners that specialize in home-style cooking. The key to getting this dish right lies in the quality of the pork chops and the careful caramelization of the honey glaze. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate spices like cinnamon and nutmeg into the roasted sweet potatoes for an extra layer of flavor.
