Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 acorn squash, seeded, each cut into 8 wedges
1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 3-inch strips
4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick; about 2 1/2 pounds total)
2 bunches scallions, trimmed and cut into thirds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in middle and lower thirds. In a small bowl, combine honey, ginger, mustard, and 1 teaspoon oil. Season glaze with salt and pepper. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer 8 wedges to another rimmed baking sheet. Roast both sheets of squash 15 minutes.
  • Remove sheets from oven and flip squash. To tray with 8 wedges, add scallions and bell pepper, drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil, season with salt and pepper, and brush with glaze.
  • Return sheets to oven and roast until squash is tender when pierced with a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Let sheet with 16 wedges cool completely, then refrigerate for Chicken Cutlets with Mustard Greens and Roasted Squash.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium-high. Season pork with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip, brush with remaining glaze, and cook until pork is cooked through, 5 minutes. Serve pork alongside roasted vegetables.

The glaze was too sweet for my taste, but the pork chops were cooked perfectly. I would recommend using a different glaze, or reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

The pork chops were a bit dry, but the glaze was amazing. I would recommend using a different cut of pork chop, or cooking them for less time.

This dish was a hit with my family! The pork chops were juicy and tender, and the glaze was sweet and savory. The squash was also delicious, and it paired perfectly with the pork chops. I will definitely be making this dish again.
