Ingredients

4 servings

12 medium sweet potatoes (about 9 ounces each), cut into 8 pieces lengthwise
11 tablespoon olive oil
11 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
13/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
14 ears of corn, shucked
11/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
12 tablespoons finely chopped tender herbs (such as cilantro, chives, and/or parsley)
11/2 cup barbecue sauce
11 tablespoon honey mustard
14 (1"-thick) bone-in pork chops (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
11/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 0.7 ounces)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes with oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Add corn cobs and roast, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are tender and corn is cooked through and beginning to brown, 15, 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix butter, herbs, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Whisk barbecue sauce and honey mustard in another small bowl.
Preheat broiler on high and set oven rack about 4" from heat. Line broiler pan or another rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a pastry brush, slather pork chops with about half of barbecue sauce mixture and transfer to prepared pan; reserve remaining barbecue sauce mixture.
Broil pork chops, turning and brushing with remaining barbecue sauce mixture halfway through, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Spread each corn cob with 1 Tbsp. herb butter; serve remaining herb butter alongside. Top potatoes with Parmesan.
Divide pork chops and potatoes among plates. Serve with corn alongside.
