Paprika Pork Chops with Zucchini

Ingredients

2 teaspoons paprika

3/4 teaspoon brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

4 (6-ounce) bone-in, center-cut pork chops

Cooking spray

3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Combine paprika, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Rub paprika mixture evenly over pork. Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove pork from grill.

Add zucchini to grill; grill 4 minutes on each side or until well marked. Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine zucchini with remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, oil, and mustard; toss to coat.

Recipe Tips

Tip: Halve the amount of pork chops, but still grill all of the zucchini. You can mix any leftovers with whole-wheat pasta or quinoa for a quick next-day lunch.

Makes 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop and about 2/3 cup zucchini mixture)
