Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 large dark-orange sweet potato, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch slices and slices quartered
1 large unpeeled Granny Smith apple, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 small onion, cut into thin wedges and wedges separated
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
4 fully cooked smoked boneless pork chops (about 2 1/2 oz each)

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix oil, cinnamon, cumin and coriander.
In large bowl, combine sweet potato, apple and onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil-spice mixture; toss to coat. Spread mixture in pan.
Bake 30 minutes. Meanwhile, stir brown sugar into remaining oil-spice mixture (mixture will be thick). Rub mixture over 1 side of each pork chop.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 teaspoon fennel seeds
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
4 (1-inch thick) boneless pork loin chops
¼ cup olive oil, divided
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
½ onion, cut thinly into half-moons
1 red apple - unpeeled, cored, and sliced into1/4-inch-thick wedges
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 cups lightly packed, coarsely chopped kale

Steps:

Place fennel seeds and peppercorns in a small zip-top plastic bag. Seal bag and pound spices using a mallet or rolling pin until coarsely ground, or pulse them briefly in a spice or coffee grinder. Sprinkle mixture and 1/4 teaspoon salt on both sides of chops.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then transfer to a plate.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and reduce heat to medium; cook, turning once, about 4 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest parts registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer chops to a plate and tent with foil.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion to the skillet; cook until onion softens, about 2 minutes. Add apple; cook 1 minute more. Add broth, stirring to scrape up browned bits, then stir in mustard and sweet potatoes. Increase heat to medium-high; simmer until apple is slightly softened and liquid has slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add kale and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender, about 1 minute. Add any accumulated juices from the plate with pork. Serve chops with vegetable mixture.
