Steps:
- Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Stir curry, pepper, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
- Rub an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with oil. Sprinkle pork chops and potatoes with spice mixture on prepared pan to evenly coat, then arrange in an even layer with potatoes cut side down.
- Roast until pork is golden brown and cooked through and potatoes are deeply browned on cut sides and fork-tender, about 20 minutes. (The pork might finish cooking before the potatoes do; if so, transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest, then continue roasting the potatoes until done.)
- Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
- Arrange pork and potatoes on a platter. Top with yogurt sauce, radishes, and pomegranate arils.
- Do Ahead: Yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- Cooks' Note
- Small sweet potatoes work best for cooking at the same rate as the pork chops and fitting on one sheet pan since you can tuck them between the chops. If you can't find small sweet potatoes, use larger ones, cut them into wedges, and turn them halfway through roasting.

SPICY MAPLE ROASTED PORK CHOPS AND SWEET POTATOES
This was another successful, tossed-together kitchen creation. It is best described as spicy pork chops surrounded by roasted sweet potatoes coated in a spicy maple glaze. The sweet potatoes turn out soft on the inside and somewhat crispy on the outside, and the pork chops turn out juicy and spicy. DH and I enjoyed eating a bite of sweet potato with each bite of pork chop. I like to leave the skin on my sweet potatoes when roasting due to its nutritional value and crispy texture, but feel free to peel if desired. This truly is spicy. If you desire to tone down the heat, please do use less cayenne pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cook the pork chops over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without drying out.
- Don't overcook the pork chops: Overcooked pork chops will be tough and dry. Cook the chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: Pork chops can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Pork chops and sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are tender and flavorful, while the sweet potatoes are soft and slightly sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
