Preheat your oven to 400°F (to roast the broccolini and sweet potatoes). Start prepping when your oven comes up to temperature!

Wash and dry all produce. Cut the broccolini in half. Juice the lemon. Strip a few rosemary leaves off the sprig and finely chop 1 tbsp.

Toss the broccolini on one baking sheet with a drizzle of oil. Toss the potatoes on another baking sheet with half the rosemary and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast both veggies in the centre of the oven, stirring halfway through cooking, until the broccolini just turns golden-brown and sweet potatoes are tender, 15-18 min.

Meanwhile, finely chop the shallot. Core, then cut the apples into 1/2-inch cubes.

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the shallot, apples and remaining rosemary. Cook, stirring, until the shallot is softened, 3-4 min. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the maple syrup and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan. Add the pork to the pan and cook until desired doneness, 4-6 min per side. (TIP: Cook to a minimum internal temperature of 160°F.)

Serve the pork chops with the sweet potatoes and broccolini. Top the pork with the apple compote.
