Equipment

  • 1 large or 2 small sheet pans
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Pork chops and veggies:

  • 4 bone-in pork chops (2 pounds), 1-1 ½” thick If your chops are cut into large portions like mine, you will only need two. My butcher counter just happens to cut chops larger than the traditional cut.
  • 3 carrots, sliced in half length-wise Any variety will do nicely, I just happened to have rainbow carrots on hand.
  • 1 parsnip or turnip, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 10-12 large Brussels sprouts, chopped
  • 1 tablespoons +1 teaspoon of coconut oil, divided
  • 1½ teaspoons sea salt, divided
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder, divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Plum compote:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large sheet pan (or 2 small ones) with parchment paper.
  • Toss the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, the garlic powder and the dried rosemary.
  • Place the vegetables on the sheet pan and spread them out. You may need two, depending on how large your sheet pans are. You want the vegetables spread out enough that they aren’t overlapping. Place in the oven on the middle-upper rack. Roast until just-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, rub the pork chops with the remaining coconut oil and sprinkle with remaining sea salt, onion powder and garlic powder.
  • Use a spatula to gather the veggies in the center of the sheet pan. Place the pork chops on top of the vegetables, and roast until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees (approximately 15-18 minutes).

While the chops are cooking, prepare your plum compote:

  • In a small pot, add 2 tablespoons of water and sprinkle with the gelatin. Allow to “bloom” for 2 minutes.
  • Turn the stove top to low heat, allowing the gelatin to melt. Whisk as it melts to ensure no clumping.
  • Add the water, honey and plums. Warm to low-medium, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving (sauce will thicken slightly as it cools).
  • Serve the pork chops topped with the compote.
