Seared Pork with Roasted Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 dashes of sea salt
2 dashes of black pepper
2 6-oz pork chops

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Peel the sweet potatoes, cut in half lengthwise and then cut into thin wedges. Place the cut sweet potatoes into a bowl and add 1 tbsp. of olive oil and a dash each of salt and pepper; toss with your hands, coating each piece. Spread evenly onto a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning each piece after 15 minutes.

After you turn over the sweet potatoes, season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a pan preheated to medium-high, and sear the pork chops in the pan until - about 4 minutes on each side. Let pork rest for a few minutes before plating; serve with sweet potatoes and enjoy.

Side Note:
If you don't want to use pork chops, use pork tenderloin instead. Instead of olive oil, you can use coconut or macadamia nut oil because it has a higher burn rate. You can switch up any veggie depending on off-season or pre-contest. You can use this for post-workout meal if you switch the veggie.
