Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Scatter the coarsely chopped onion evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the pork chops neatly on top of the bed of onions. (5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, spicy brown mustard, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and salt until well combined. Pour this flavorful mixture evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are nicely coated. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the pork chops are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should register at least 145°F (63°C). This will typically take 25 to 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of cooking time to allow for a slight glaze and better browning. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

For extra flavor, consider searing the pork chops in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side before baking.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

    I used boneless pork chops and they turned out great. Just be sure not to overcook them.
