- 2pork chops, boneless
- 4 slicesprosciutto
- ½ lbsweet potato

Cookware
baking sheet pan · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · oven mitts · stirring spoon · tongs · vegetable peeler
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Peel and dice the sweet potato, then toss with oil and spices. Spread on one half of a baking sheet and start roasting.
- Mince the garlic and the dates, then mix them with a little oil and spices to make a topping; set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Once the skillet is hot, sear the chops in oil until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep the juices in the skillet.
- Spread the date topping over the chops and lay two slices of prosciutto on each chop.
- When the potatoes have begun to soften, slide the pork onto the other half of the baking sheet and return to the oven. Roast until the potatoes are tender and the chops are cooked through, about 8–10 minutes more.
- While the pork finishes, trim and quick-cook the green beans in the same skillet with a bit of oil and salt until lightly charred and fork-tender, then add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
- To serve, divide the chops, sweet potatoes, and green beans among plates and enjoy.
Two tips
- Prep the spice mix in advance so you can season the pork quickly after searing.
- Swap in small zucchini sticks for green beans if you have them on hand.
