The ultimate meal for harried weeknights -- Veggies start in the microwave and finish in the oven with saucy hoisin pork chops.
Ingredients
- 4 baking potatoes, about 2lb
- 1 acorn squash
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 4 boneless pork loin chops
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp liquid honey
- 1-1/2 tsp Dijon mustard or hot mustard
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1 green onion, sliced
Preparation
Scrub potatoes and prick in several places; microwave potatoes at High, turning once, for about 8 minutes or just until tender.
Cut squash in half and scoop out seeds; cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick wedges. Microwave at High for 8 minutes or just until tender.
Cut potatoes lengthwise into 8 wedges. Brush potatoes and squash with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange on 1 side of rimmed baking sheet.
Add pork chops to other side of sheet. In small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, honey, mustard and ginger; spread over pork. Sprinkle with onion.
Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven until just a hint of pink remains in pork and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Tip:
Partially microwaving the vegetables cuts baking time considerably. However, if you don't have a microwave, bake them for 20 minutes before adding the pork.
