We’re topping our savory pork chops with a sweet and spicy pan sauce that highlights fresh pineapple, jalapeño, and tangy barbecue sauce. Sides of tender roasted potatoes and broccoli—finished with a sprinkle of cotija cheese—round out the dish.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Halve the potatoes lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Place the potato pieces on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Add the broccoli florets to the other side of the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 15 to 19 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, small dice the pineapple. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise (for a milder dish, remove the ribs and seeds), then small dice. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the diced pineapple, barbecue sauce, sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the diced pepper as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.
Pat the pork dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium (the center may still be slightly pink), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for pork.
While the pork rests, to the pan of reserved fond, add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook on medium-high, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pineapple is softened and the liquid is slightly reduced in volume. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Slice the rested pork crosswise. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted vegetables. Top the pork with the finished sauce. Garnish the vegetables with the cheese. Enjoy!
