- 2 cupsfrozen butternut squash, pieces

Cookware
aluminum foil · baking sheet pan · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · measuring cups · measuring spoons · nonstick skillet · oven mitts · tongs
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- 2. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, then toss them with the frozen butternut squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with Italian dressing, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and spread into an even layer.
- 3. Roast in the oven, tossing once halfway through, until the vegetables are fork-tender, about 20–25 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- 4. While the vegetables roast, place a skillet over medium-high heat to heat up.
- 5. Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 6. When the skillet is hot, add a thin layer of olive oil and swirl to coat. Add the chops and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
- 7. Let the chops rest briefly while you finish up plating.
- 8. Divide the roasted vegetables among plates and top with the pork chops. Serve.
Two tips
- Prep ahead by trimming Brussels sprouts and measuring dressing to speed up assembly.
- Swap idea: use olive oil and garlic powder mixed with a splash of water or stock to loosen the dressing and add moisture to the veggies, if desired.
