　　This recipe is part of our Back-to-School Meal Plan featuring five easy weeknight dinners made from one grocery bag of ingredients.

　　You don’t have to fire up the grill to enjoy a taste of barbecue. This pork chop dinner makes use of the broiler to get those summertime flavors on the table anytime you want them. Punch up store-bought barbecue sauce with honey mustard, brighten roasted corn with a slather of herby butter, and jazz up sweet potato fries with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.

　　

Ingredients

4 servings

　　2 medium sweet potatoes (about 9 ounces each), cut into 8 pieces lengthwise

　　1 tablespoon olive oil

　　1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

　　3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

　　4 ears of corn, shucked

　　1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

　　2 tablespoons finely chopped tender herbs (such as cilantro, chives, and/or parsley)

　　1/2 cup barbecue sauce

　　1 tablespoon honey mustard

　　4 (1"-thick) bone-in pork chops (about 2 1/2 pounds total)

　　1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 0.7 ounces)

　　

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes with oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Add corn cobs and roast, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are tender and corn is cooked through and beginning to brown, 15–20 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix butter, herbs, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Whisk barbecue sauce and honey mustard in another small bowl.

　　

Step 3

Preheat broiler on high and set oven rack about 4" from heat. Line broiler pan or another rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a pastry brush, slather pork chops with about half of barbecue sauce mixture and transfer to prepared pan; reserve remaining barbecue sauce mixture.

　　

Step 4

Broil pork chops, turning and brushing with remaining barbecue sauce mixture halfway through, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

　　

Step 5

Spread each corn cob with 1 Tbsp. herb butter; serve remaining herb butter alongside. Top potatoes with Parmesan.

　　

Step 6

Divide pork chops and potatoes among plates. Serve with corn alongside.

　　Cooks' Note

　　If bone-in pork chops aren't available, use center cut pork chops and reduce cook time to about 10 minutes.
