- Butternut squash- I love using squash in the fall and winter, but diced sweet potato or yellow potatoes would also be great in this meal.

FAQs
Cooked pork chops will store great in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
Yes, you can use boneless pork chops. I prefer bone-in because meat on the bone has more flavor and tends to be juicier. If using boneless, look for a center-cut pork loin.
Yes, pork chops are safe to eat if they are a little pink. As long as the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F, they are okay to eat.
Top Tips
- I recommend marinating the pork for at least 30 minutes. I prefer to allow the pork to marinate overnight or from the morning until dinner time. The longer you allow the pork to marinate, the more flavor it will have.
- Thicker cut pork chops cook slower and tend to be more juicy and flavorful.
- Let the pork rest for 3-5 minutes before eating. This will help to ensure the juices are set.
