Vegetables
2 medium parsnips (or 2 turnips or 4 carrots)
2 large potatoes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh thyme, divided
10 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Chops
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 pork chops, center cut 1/2 inch thick
2 pears, firm, halved and seed center removed

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Wash, peel, and slice the parsnips into 1 inch thick peices (same for carrots, but if using turnips, cut in half, then slice into 1/2 inch thick slices). Scrub and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2
Place into a large bowl and coat lightly with olive oil. Add 1/2 of the thyme (2 Tbsp), garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Pour into a baking dish and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
3
While the vegetables are in the oven, mix the remaining thyme, softened butter, and seasoning. Rub onto the chops. Quarter pears and scoop out the seed center.
4
Place the chops and pears in the tray with the parsnips and potatoes. Cook about 30 minutes until the meat is tender and the vegetables are golden.
