Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pineapple juice, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
Place seared pork chops in a baking dish. Pour the brown sugar-pineapple mixture over them, and top each chop with a pineapple ring.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has caramelized.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Variations & Tips
Add crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
For a lighter version, reduce brown sugar or substitute with a sugar substitute and add ginger for extra depth.
Experiment with different vinegars like balsamic or a touch of lime juice to create new flavor profiles.
This sweet and savory dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, or a fresh green salad! Enjoy the perfect balance of flavors in each bite.
