Ingredients
- ¼ cup Olive oil, divided
- 3 cups Diced fresh potatoes
- 3 cups Sliced fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces)
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Pepper
- 1 Large gala or Honeycrisp apple, peeled and sliced into 1-inch wedges
- 2 tsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
- ¼ tsp Ginger powder
- 4 Pork loin chops, boneless (1 inch thick and about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tsp Southwest seasoning
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wrap foil around a 15x10x1-inch baking pan and brush with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large mixing dish. Place in one section of the baking pan that has been prepped.
- Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same bowl and place in another part of the pan. Season the potatoes and asparagus with salt and pepper.
Toss the apple with 1 teaspoon olive oil in the same bowl. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a small bowl; sprinkle over apples and toss to coat. Transfer to the other part of the pan.
- Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pork chops and season both sides with Southwest spice. Place the chops in the pan's remaining area. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the pork reads 145° and the potatoes and apples are cooked. Allow 5 minutes to rest before serving.
