Roast the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a lined sheet pan, toss the cauliflower and carrots (halve crosswise before adding) with a drizzle of oil; season with S&P. Arrange in a single, even layer and roast in the oven, stirring halfway through, 14 to 16 minutes, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Transfer to a serving dish and set aside in a warm spot.

Cook the pork chops

While the vegetables roast, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towel; season with the spice blend and S&P. Add the pork chops to the pan and cook, 3 to 5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan and set aside in a warm spot.

Mise en place
