Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound new potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice blend.
  2. Rub the spice blend all over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Let the pork chops marinate in the spice blend for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated pork chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  4. While the pork chops are grilling, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the quartered new potatoes with chopped fresh parsley, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in an even layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the spicy pork chops alongside the herbed roasted new potatoes. Enjoy!
