Seared Pork Chop with Spicy Roasted Butternut Squash, Apple & OnionSeared Pork Chop with Spicy Roasted Butternut Squash, Apple & Onion — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 9 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ small butternut squash

3 Gala apples

6 pork chops, bone-in

3 medium red onions

black pepper

brown sugar

cayenne pepper

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Wash, dry, trim, and peel each squash; quarter lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and cut crosswise into thin slices. Place in a large bowl.

Wash, dry, quarter, core, and thinly slice apples. Add to the bowl with the butternut squash.

Peel, halve, and slice onions crosswise into thin half-moons. Add to the bowl.

Add oil, sugar, and spices to the bowl, then toss to combine. Divide squash, apple, and onion between two large baking sheet pans, then spread out in an even layer.

Place baking sheets in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and roast, tossing halfway through, until squash and apples are tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven.

When the squash and apples have about 15 minutes left, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, pat pork chops dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper 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.

To serve, divide chops and veggies between plates. Enjoy!
