• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 2 pork chops dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

   Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Meanwhile, slice the 2 sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Grill the sweet potato slices for 4-5 minutes per side, until tender and charred at edges. Remove and keep warm.

   Grill the pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and juices run clear. Rest for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   While pork rests, grill the 1 bunch of scallions for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until lightly charred and softened.

6. 6

   Whisk together the juice of 1 lime and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Drizzle over the pork, sweet potatoes, and scallions before serving.
