You don't have to fire up the grill to enjoy a taste of barbecue. This pork chop dinner makes use of the broiler to get those summertime flavors on the table anytime you want them. Punch up store-bought barbecue sauce with honey mustard, brighten roasted corn with a slather of herby butter, and jazz up sweet potato fries with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 9 ounces each), cut into 8 pieces lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
4 ears of corn, shucked
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped tender herbs (such as cilantro, chives, and/or parsley)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon honey mustard
4 (1"-thick) bone-in pork chops (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 0.7 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes with oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Add corn cobs and roast, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are tender and corn is cooked through and beginning to brown, 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix butter, herbs, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Whisk barbecue sauce and honey mustard in another small bowl.
  • Preheat broiler on high and set oven rack about 4" from heat. Line broiler pan or another rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a pastry brush, slather pork chops with about half of barbecue sauce mixture and transfer to prepared pan; reserve remaining barbecue sauce mixture.
  • Broil pork chops, turning and brushing with remaining barbecue sauce mixture halfway through, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Spread each corn cob with 1 Tbsp. herb butter; serve remaining herb butter alongside. Top potatoes with Parmesan.
  • Divide pork chops and potatoes among plates. Serve with corn alongside.
