Cozy Fall Recipe: Spiced Maple Glazed Pork Chops

Today’s Special: Spiced Maple Glazed Pork Chops

Greetings, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a recipe that brings back memories of cozy fall evenings spent gathered around the dinner table with loved ones. This dish is perfect for adding a touch of warmth and spice to your autumn menu.

For this Spiced Maple Glazed Pork Chops recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• pork chops (bone-in) – 4 pieces
• maple syrup – 120 ml
• paprika – 1 tsp
• cinnamon – 1/2 tsp
• garlic powder – 1/2 tsp
• salt – 1/2 tsp
• black pepper – 1/4 tsp
• olive oil – 30 ml

To make this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• cast iron skillet
• tongs

Start by preheating your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. In a mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, paprika, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Drizzle olive oil over the pork chops and rub to coat evenly. Place the pork chops in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust.

Pour the maple syrup mixture over the seared pork chops, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes, basting the pork chops with the glaze occasionally.

Once the pork chops are cooked through and glazed to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully develop and the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender bite.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800 grams, with 4 servings and an average serving weight of 200 grams. Each serving is estimated to contain around 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika over the glazed pork chops just before serving. The smoky flavor adds an extra layer of complexity to the dish, elevating it to a whole new level of deliciousness.

I encourage you to give this Spiced Maple Glazed Pork Chops recipe a try and make it your own by adding your favorite seasonal sides. Enjoy the comforting flavors and aromas of fall with this simple and satisfying dish!
