WITH ROASTED APPLES AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Recipe by Rob Thomas
www.chefrob.ca
Sheet pan meals are an easy way to put together a meal any day of the week. The rub gives the pork chops a sweet and slightly
spicy flavor, while the cider vinegar in the vegetables is just enough to liven it up without overpowering the natural flavors.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat steam oven to 400°F.
Mix paprika, chili powder, garlic salt, cinnamon,
brown sugar, thyme, with a pinch of salt, and a
pinch of black pepper in a small bowl. Rub each
pork chop with a drizzle of olive oil and rub both
sides of each pork chop with brown sugar mixture.
Place onions, apples, and brussels sprouts, in a
large bowl. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and
cider vinegar, toss to coat.
Place pork chops in center of a lightly greased
(with cooking spray) heavy-duty aluminum foil-
lined sheet pan and place apple mixture around
the pork chops.
Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes and turn pork chops
over, and roast 10 to 12 minutes more (or until a
meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion
registers 140°F.) Transfer pork chops to a serving
platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Stir apple
mixture in sheet pan and spread into an even layer.
Set oven to broil and broil apple mixture about 4
minutes or until browned and slightly charred.
Season with salt if necessary and serve with pork
chops.

I love using the Sharp Super Steam and Con-
vection Oven! This oven is a three in one
appliance where you can cook with super
heated steam, regular steam, or convection
heat. - Rob Thomas, www.chefrob.ca
