Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This flavorful marinade will be the key to infusing your pork chops with that irresistible sweet and spicy taste.
-
Place the pork chops in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, making sure each one is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer you let them marinate, the more flavorful they will be!
-
While the pork chops marinate, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
-
Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking dish. Add the sliced peaches around the pork chops, creating a beautiful presentation and allowing the peaches to caramelize as they cook.
-
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the pork chops and peaches before placing the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
-
Once the pork chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is succulent and flavorful.
-
Garnish your Spicy Peach Pork Chops with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
