Serves 4 (serving size: 1 pork chop, about 1/2 cup apple slices, and about 3 ounces of sprouts)

Ingredients:

   12 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved

    2 tablespoons canola oil, divided

    5/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

    1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided

    Cooking spray

    4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
