Grilled Pork Chops with Maple Syrup Sweet Potatoes

Another easy meal which is great for dinner guests as it is inexpensive, easy to make, and always a crowd pleaser. I served the pork chops and sweet potatoes with a side salad and Arizona Arnold Palmer mixed drinks. This half iced tea, half lemonade liquid mix, found in the liquor section of the grocery store, makes one of

my all time favorite summer drinks. Special thanks to Travis my grill master who does ALL the grilling!

Ingredients

Serves 4

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

Salt & Pepper

4 small sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into wedges

2 Tbs olive oil

1 Tbs maple syrup

2 scallions, sliced

Directions

1. Heat grill to medium-high.

2. Toss the sweet potatoes with 1 Tbs oil and some salt and pepper.

3. Place the potatoes on the grill, reserving the bowl. Cook, turning often, until tender and slightly charred, 12 to 16 minutes.

4. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. After 10 minutes of cooking the potatoes place the chops on the grill. About 5 minutes per side.

5. To the reserved bowl add the syrup, scallions, remaining Tbs of oil and some salt and pepper. Add the sweet potatoes and serve with the pork.
