Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and the cubes are tender when pierced with a fork.

While the squash roasts, combine the chopped basil, parsley, dried thyme, and 3/4 tsp salt in a small bowl and stir to mix. Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels, then press the herb mixture firmly onto both sides of each chop, coating evenly.
