How to Make Maple Baked Pork Chops

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) to the marinade, ensuring both sides are coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
Peel and cube 2 large sweet potatoes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Arrange sweet potatoes around the pork chops in a shallow roasting pan.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender. Baste the pork chops with the remaining marinade during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra maple syrup and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
