Orange Molasses Pork Chops with Skillet Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Cooking Steps
Preheat oven to 350F.
Place pork chops in a freezer bag with 1/2 of the orange juice, molasses, basil and a dash of salt and pepper. Shake well to evenly coat pork chops. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least three hours.
Heat 1/2 tbsp of the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
While the skillet is heating, toss the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with remaining orange juice, olive oil, cinnamon, garlic, allspice, honey and a dash of salt and pepper.
When skillet is hot, throw in onions and sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes, until softened.
Clear a space by pushing the sweet potatoes and onions to the outer edge of the skillet and place the pork chops in the middle of the skillet. Sear the pork chops for about three minutes, flipping halfway through, reserving the marinating juices in the bag.
Add the marinating juices to the skillet and carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender and pork chops are cooked through.

Omg! New favorite kind of sweet potatoes! Thank you for this recipe! Subs I made: I used fresh clementine juice and omitted the honey. Also, I added a squeeze of lemon and a lot of pepper with the pork marinade. So yum!
Not bad, but wasn’t overwhelmed.
