Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 pork chops
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (such as apple cider or white vinegar)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides and place them in a baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, minced garlic, and olive oil to make the glaze.
  4. Pour the glaze over the pork chops, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides.
  5. Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
  6. While baking, baste the pork chops with the glaze every 5-10 minutes to enhance the flavor and moisture.
  7. Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For even juicier and more tender pork chops, marinate them in the glaze for 30 minutes to an hour before baking. If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer the mixture on the stovetop for a few minutes until it reduces slightly. Remember to baste the pork chops regularly while baking to ensure they stay moist and flavorful. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops for doneness. Serve the pork chops with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal. Enjoy!
