1 ½ (113 g) logs goat cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Wash, dry, peel, and medium dice sweet potatoes. Place on a large baking sheet pan along with cherries, oil, and spices. Stir to coat and spread out in an even layer.

Place baking sheet in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and roast, stirring halfway through, until cherries are soft and sweet potatoes are fork-tender, 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place on a plate. Season with spices on both sides.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add chops and pan-fry until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil.

While the chops are cooking, peel and mince shallots. Place in a large bowl along with additional oil, vinegar, Dijon, honey, and spices. Whisk to combine the dressing and set aside.

When the sweet potatoes and cherries are done, remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly, 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, thinly slice pork chops.

Wash and dry the spinach. (Skip this step if it came pre-washed.) Add to the bowl with the dressing along with the cooled sweet potatoes and cherries. Toss to combine the salad.

To serve, divide salad between plates or bowls, then top with pork. Crumble goat cheese over top and enjoy!
