What You Need for Brown Sugar Pork Chops

You do not need any special cooking tools for this recipe. Just bake the pork chops in the oven for 10 minutes and that is all! You can even turn the marinade into a sauce on the stovetop. Yup! You can do that!

The ingredients are all for the balsamic marinade or for pork chops. They are simple and you probably have them all in your house already!

  • Pork chops
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Honey
  • Mustard
  • Garlic
  • Rosemary
  • Salt and pepper
Suggestions and Substitutions

Pork chops for BOGO at Publix so I had to pick some up! I got 4 pounds of them for like $7. That was amazing. However, this marinade/recipe tastes really great with chicken or salmon if you are looking for something lighter.

I use a tablespoon or two of each ingredient, we will go over that later. I think this recipe tastes amazing as it is, and all the ingredients are required. However, if you do not have an ingredient or do not like an ingredient, do not worry.

Specifically, for the mustard, I used stone ground mustard. I think it is the fancier, elite mustard. Don't you agree? The balsamic and mustard really compliment each other. However, if you like regular yellow mustard, go ahead and substitute that. Additionally, you can substitute honey mustard for the mustard and the honey if that if what you have. Lastly, you can skip the olive oil if you do not want to much oil, or just use less.

I love how the rosemary compliments the balsamic on these pork chops. However, if you do not have rosemary or do not like it, you can skip it. Additionally, I use garlic salt sometimes, instead of plain salt, to add a little more garlic. You know what I say, there is never enough garlic!!

I make the marinade into a sauce. You can also add a little bit of brown sugar replacement (this stuff) if you like things sweet. You do not have to add that if you do not want to. Another suggestion is to add crushed red pepper if you like things spicy!

But, come on, look at these honey balsamic pork chops. This recipe is perfection and you need to try it!

How to Make Honey Rosemary Balsamic Pork Chops

Start by marinading the pork. Place all ingredients for the balsamic mustard marinade and the pork chops in a baggie. Mix it all around and seal the baggie very tight. I like to place the baggie in a Tupperware container just to make sure it does not leak. Place that in the fridge for at least an hour or up to all day.

However, if you forget or do not have time to marinade, it will be okay. We can turn the marinade into a sauce and they will still be a very flavorful balsamic mustard-y dish.

Once ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray.

Place pork chops on the baking tray, in a single layer. Shake off any excess marinade but do not rub it off. DO NOT throw the marinade away. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, flipping halfway, or until fully cooked. I like to use a meat thermometer to know exactly when the pork is done.

While the pork is cooking, heat a small pan over medium/high heat. Once heated, pour in the marinade and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add in the brown sugar, if you want to use that. Stir and scrape up the bottom every minute until the sauce is thickened. It will be done when the pork chops are done.

Once the pork chops are done, cover them in some of the thickened sauce! (I use about half of the sauce) Then, you will have a glazed your pork chops with a delicious balsamic sauce.

Pairings

Now that you have your brown sugar garlic pork chops, what will you pair it with? I recommend my roasted red potatoes as it really plays in with the rosemary on the pork chops. Then, for your vegetable, try out my air fryer maple bacon balsamic Brussels sprouts to really bring out that balsamic flavor.

To make it a seamless dinner, begin with the potatoes as those take the longest. Get those cooking, then start on the Brussels sprouts. Once those have started, begin the pork. Everything will be ready at once! Easy and delicious pork chops with some easy and delicious sides!

If you have tons of extra pork chops to use up, like I do, try out my brown sugar garlic pork chops!

WW:

If you are on WW and looking for a points value, click on this link and your points will automatically calculate. The cool thing is that if you switch up the meat for salmon or chicken, you can easily swap that out in your recipe builder.

I used about half the marinade for the sauce. Therefore, I estimated that I used a total of ⅔ of the marinade. This will be reflected in the WW recipe builder. You can adjust that depending on what you did. It was about 1-2 tablespoons per serving of extra sauce.

If you do not use any sauce, I count the marinade as 1 point. Then, add that to the protein that you used.
