🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: sugar

Sugar is a common and inexpensive sweetener.

Mix ponzu sauce with orange zest, orange juice, avocado oil, ground coriander, and brown sugar to create the glaze.

Brush both sides of the boneless pork chops liberally with the ponzu glaze.

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Set the pork chops aside.

Peel and slice sweet potatoes, and slice pink lady apples and sweet onions thickly.

Ensure sweet potatoes, apples, and onions are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Place all the vegetables in a large bowl and add a touch of brown sugar and crushed red pepper flakes to the ponzu sauce.

Pour the remaining ponzu sauce over the vegetables and stir well, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the seasoned vegetables to a sheet pan with the pork chops, keeping everything in a single layer.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for about 25 minutes until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F and the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
