Here’s a simple and delicious way to make Brown Sugar Baked Pork Chops—sweet, savory, and perfectly tender:
Ingredients
- Pork chops – 4 (bone-in or boneless, about ½–¾ inch thick)
- Brown sugar – ½ cup
- Garlic powder – 1 tsp
- Onion powder – 1 tsp
- Paprika – 1 tsp
- Salt & pepper – to taste
- Optional: a little mustard or soy sauce for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line with foil.
- Season pork chops: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat chops: Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
- Bake: Place pork chops in the prepared dish and bake 25–30 minutes (or until internal temp reaches 145°F / 63°C).
- Optional glaze: For extra caramelization, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
- Serve: Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use bone-in chops for juicier meat.
- Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or rice for a full meal.
- A touch of mustard or soy sauce mixed with the brown sugar gives a nice tangy-sweet flavor.
If you want, I can also share a quick version using the air fryer so they’re crispy on the outside and juicy inside in under 20 minutes.
Do you want me to do that?
