Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
4 pork chops
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking oil.
Spread the sliced onion evenly in the greased baking dish, then place the pork chops on top.
In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, mustard, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the pork chops. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the pork chops are cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
