I first discovered the recipe for these Maple Glazed Pork Chops decades ago in a magazine. With a few tweaks, they quickly became a family favorite. This dish is proof that simple ingredients can create unforgettable flavors, making it a go-to option for busy weeknights or special occasions.
One of the best things about these pork chops is how easy they are to prepare. With just a handful of pantry staples, you can create a dish that feels gourmet without spending hours in the kitchen.
How to Make Maple Glazed Pork Chops
Start by seasoning the pork chops—either bone-in or boneless—with a flavorful rub made from salt, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and pepper. This spice blend adds a warm, savory foundation to the dish. Bake chops in the oven for 15 minutes, then brush with a glaze of maple syrup, butter, and Dijon mustard. Pop them back in the oven for just 5 more minutes, and dinner is served! It’s that simple.

For those following a low carb lifestyle, I recommend Lakanto Sugar Free Maple Syrup, which keeps the net carbs to just 2 grams per serving. If you prefer regular maple syrup, it will add about 7 grams of carbs per serving.
The result? Tender, juicy pork chops with a sweet and savory glaze that will have everyone at the table asking for seconds.
