A delightful twist on classic pork chops, featuring a savory glaze that enhances the flavor and tenderness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor.
Transfer the seared pork chops to a roasting pan.
Arrange the chops in a single layer for even cooking.
Slice the onion thinly and scatter over the pork chops.
Thin slices cook faster and blend well with the glaze.
In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, white vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well incorporated.
Pour the glaze evenly over the pork chops and onions.
Ensure the glaze covers the chops for maximum flavor.
Cover the roasting pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
Covering the pan helps retain moisture and tenderness.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of parsley or thyme adds a fresh touch to the dish.
