PREPARATION

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, half the salt, and half the pepper.
3
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
4
Pat the pork chop dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
5
Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
6
Place the pork chop in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
7
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan, being careful not to burn it.
8
Remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted asparagus with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
