Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Place them on the prepared baking sheet or dish.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
For extra caramelization, broil the pork chops for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will ensure the juices redistribute and the meat stays tender.
Serve the marinated baked pork chops with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
