Sauce Ingredients:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
Seasoning and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt

Instructions
- Heat your oven to exactly 375°F (190°C), preparing a baking dish for the pork chops.
- Whisk together ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
- Thoroughly coat each pork chop with the entire honey mustard mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Arrange the 4 pork chops in a single layer inside the baking dish, making sure they do not overlap.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and roast for precisely 25-30 minutes, checking that the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove the dish from the oven and allow the pork chops to rest undisturbed for 5 minutes, which helps seal in the juices.
- Serve the pork chops immediately while they are warm and succulent.
Notes
- Always choose bone-in pork chops for more flavor and juiciness during baking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature reaches 145F for perfectly cooked pork without drying out.
- For a gluten-free version, verify your mustard brand does not contain wheat-based additives.
- Let the pork chops marinate in the honey mustard mixture for 30 minutes before baking to enhance deeper flavor absorption.
