Ingredients
- 1 pork chop (boneless)
- 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cup fresh spinach
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts (halved)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. On a small baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While Brussels sprouts roast, pat the pork chop dry. Season both sides with dried sage, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chop for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Serve the rested pork chop with the sautéed spinach and roasted Brussels sprouts.
Notes
To ensure your pork chop remains juicy, be careful not to overcook it. Brussels sprouts can be roasted while the pork chop cooks to save time, ensuring your meal comes together efficiently.
