Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and medium-dice the sweet potatoes. Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 10 to 16 minutes until very tender. Drain and return them to the pot. Off the heat, mash the sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp of butter (double for 4 portions), gradually adding the reserved cooking water until the mash reaches your desired creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2

While the sweet potatoes cook, trim off the ends of the zucchini and cut them in half lengthwise. Slice them into half-moons about ½ inch thick. On a lined sheet pan, toss the zucchini with a drizzle of oil, ½ of the spice blend, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly. Roast in the oven for 7 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until browned and tender.

Step 3

Divide the sweet potato mash between your plates. Top with the glazed pork chops (slice before plating if desired) and the caramelized zucchini. Spoon any remaining mango sauce over the pork. Bon appétit!
