Ingredients

  • 4 1-inch-thick bone-in pork chops (about 2 pounds)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  1. Heat grill to medium-high. Season the pork chops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes per side.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill, turning often, until tender and slightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Reserve the bowl.
