Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. This will be your flavorful marinade.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the honey mustard marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and allow the chops to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the pork chops from the marinade, reserving the leftover marinade for later.
- Place the marinated pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the pork chops with the reserved marinade to add extra flavor and moisture.
- Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serve these Honey Mustard Pork Chops with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy the delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors in every bite!
