Oven Baked Pork Chops & Sweet Potatoes

I absolutely love sweet potatoes and try to incorporate them into our weekly menu at least once or twice a week. They are loaded with nutrients and they just taste so delicious. Here is a great recipe that is very simple to make.  I served these pork chops and sweet potatoes with some sugar snap peas. You could do any veggie side you wish for these.

Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil or extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger OR 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon lite salt
4 thin-cut boneless pork chops (approx 1 pound)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
black pepper
1/4 cup hot chicken broth - try to buy the reduced sodium

Directions
-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-Coat a large baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut the sweet potatoes and onion into chunk-size pieces and transfer to the baking pan.
-In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, ginger, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the vegetables and then use clean hands to spread the mixture evenly over all of them.
-Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, making sure to toss around occasionally.
-Reduce heat to 375 degrees and add the pork to the pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the pork chops. Roast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pork is finished. Remove the pork and vegetables to a platter.
-Add the broth or water to the pan juices from the veggies and pork. Stir to combine, scraping any browned pieces from the bottom of the pan. Drizzle the juices over the pork and vegetables and serve.

Enjoy! :)
