  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork Chops:

    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Pat dry the pork chops and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill the Pork Chops:

    • Brush the pork chops with olive oil and place them on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare to medium doneness. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops.

    • In a bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

  5. Serve:

    • Remove the pork chops and asparagus from the grill. Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with lemon wedges if desired.
