Bring tropical flavor to the table with these Sticky Baked Pineapple Pork Chops—juicy, seared pork chops smothered in a sweet and tangy pineapple-soy glaze, baked to perfection, and topped with caramelized pineapple rings. A quick and flavorful weeknight dinner the whole family will love.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless or bone-in pork chops

  • 1 can pineapple rings (reserve 1/2 cup of the juice)

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for slurry)

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Season & Sear Pork Chops:
    Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear chops for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Make the Pineapple Glaze:
    In a small saucepan, combine reserved ½ cup pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer.
    Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, until thickened and glossy (about 2–3 minutes).

  4. Assemble & Bake:
    Arrange seared pork chops in a baking dish. Spoon glaze over each chop and top with a pineapple ring.
    Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  5. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.

  • Use fresh pineapple if preferred—just adjust juice quantity as needed.

  • This dish pairs beautifully with jasmine rice or garlic green beans.
