Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 4 medium Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized pieces, about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and toss in the fresh thyme sprigs. Spoon the melted butter and thyme over the pork chops as they rest off the heat.

Step 6

In the same skillet or a separate pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the carrots to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 8

Sprinkle the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon over the carrots, stirring to coat evenly.

Step 9

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened.

Step 10

Return the pork chops to the skillet briefly to warm through, about 2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the pork chops alongside the glazed carrots, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
