Equipment

  • Hot grill, or grill pan

Ingredients

FOR THE PORK CHOPS

  • 2 pork chops bone-in center-cut, about 1 1/2 inches thick
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped

FOR THE ROASTED VEGGIES

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts halved
  • 4 carrots roughly chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

PREPARE THE PORK CHOPS

  • Pre-heat oven to 325°F.
  • Generously season the chops with salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Mix together balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickens and reduces to about 1/4 cup, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in butter and thyme.
  • Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • One grill is good and hot, place chops on the grates and brush on some of the balsamic reduction.
  • Grill for about 6 to 8 minutes and then turn, basting again and cooking for another 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Place grilled chops on a baking sheet and bake until cooked through to 145°F, about 15 to 20 minutes.

MAKE THE ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND CARROTS

  • Pre-heat oven to 325°F (if haven't already done so for the pork chops)
  • Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, and maple syrup. Set aside.
  • Place Brussels sprouts and carrots on the prepared baking sheets and pour the balsamic mixture over it, topping with the chopped thyme, garlic and healthy pinches of salt and pepper.
  • Gently stir to coat.
  • Place in oven a bake until brown and tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with pork chops.
