Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle both sides of the boneless pork chops with salt and pepper, then set them aside.
- Create the marinade by whisking together honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
- Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over them, and seal the bag. Massage the marinade into the pork and allow it to marinate for 20-30 minutes.

- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve this delightful combination of honey and garlic pork chops, roasted sweet potato wedges, and flavorful asparagus.
Notes
To ensure the pork chops remain tender, avoid overcooking. Utilize a meat thermometer to verify that the internal temperature reaches around 145°F (63°C). Adjust the honey quantity in the marinade to attain your desired level of sweetness. You can also elevate the flavor profile by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese over the sweet potato wedges. Enjoy!
