Scale
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pork chops evenly.
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Arrange Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a baking dish, making sure they are spaced evenly for uniform cooking.
- Coat Pork Chops: Pour the brown sugar mixture over the pork chops, turning them gently to ensure each chop is thoroughly coated with the marinade.
- Bake: Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are fully cooked.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy chops ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use bone-in pork chops for extra flavor and moisture.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar for preferred sweetness.
- Letting the pork chops marinate for 30 minutes to an hour before baking can enhance flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is safely cooked but not overdone.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
