Prep and glaze
- Preheat oven to 400°F and position a rack in the middle so the glaze caramelizes evenly.
- Whisk balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth, thick, and glossy.
Roast vegetables first
- Toss Brussels sprouts and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a large sheet pan.
- Roast for 10 minutes at 400°F until the vegetables begin to blister and edges look slightly browned.
Glaze and finish pork
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper, push the vegetables to the edges, and nestle pork chops in the center.
- Brush glaze generously over the pork chops and drizzle any extra over the vegetables for sticky caramelization.
- Roast 18–22 minutes at 400°F until the pork reaches 145°F and the glaze turns deep mahogany on the sheet pan.
- Broil 2 minutes for extra color, watching closely so the top of the glaze darkens without burning.
Notes
For the juiciest chops, pull them at 145°F and rest them on the sheet pan 3–5 minutes before serving; the carryover helps finish the center while keeping the glaze glossy. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container up to 3 days; reheat at 375°F until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the vegetables can soften. Dietary swap: use maple syrup in place of honey for a similar sweetness and caramel-brown finish.
