Honey Butter BBQ Pork Chops with mashed sweet potatoes & Lemony Green beans

 2 sweet potatoes

1 lemon 

1 1/2 TBS sour cream

2 tsp honey

10 oz pork shops

1 TBS Sweet and smoky BBQ seasoning

6 oz fresh green beans

4 TBS butter

1 tsp red pepper flakes

Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch pieces. Zest and quarter lemon.

Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Cover, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. 

Drain and return sweet potatoes to pot. Add sour cream and 1/2 TBS butter; mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Keep covered until ready to serve.

While sweet potatoes cook, place 2 TBS butter in a glass bowl and microwave until soft, 10-15 seconds. Stir in honey and a pinch of salt.

Pat pork dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then rub all over with BBQ seasoning.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.

While pork cooks, steam or microwave green beans until tender. Transfer green beans to a medium bowl and toss with lemon zest, 1/2 TBS butter, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a big pinch of salt and pepper.

Top mashed sweet potatoes and pork with honey butter and red pepper flakes. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
