Brown Sugar Garlic Oven Baked Pork Chops are the answer to about 500 emails from you guys asking for pork chop versions of these two recipes: Brown Sugar Garlic Pork with Carrots & Potatoes and Slow Cooker Bacon Garlic Pork Loin.
You guys have LOVED those recipe and have always asked “can I do this recipe with pork chops?” Unfortunately, no, I always said “nope, sorry.”
Today I have an even EASIER version if that is even possible. Sheet Pan Brown Sugar Garlic Pork Chops WITH a side of potatoes like my original recipe. I was going to add carrots too, but with the heat I was a bit worried they’d scorch.

How to make Baked Pork Chops with Cream of Mushroom Soup:

Psst, I also have a Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken you NEED to try, it is fall apart tender, sticky, garlicky and amazing.

Oven Baked Pork Chop FAQs
How long do you cook pork chops in the oven?
I bake my oven baked pork chops at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145-150 degrees. I usually turn off the oven and leave the oven door open about 30% to let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
How long do you cook bone in pork chops in the oven?
Cooking with meat that is bone-in takes roughly 10-15% more cooking time. This recipe calls for bone-in chops so I’d say if they are boneless you can possibly cook them for 30-32 minutes.

How do you cook pork loin chops in the oven?
Pork Loin chops (like in this recipe) are primarily “white meat” of the pig. Meaning less fat than the darker meat you’d find in shoulder chops or country style ribs. This means you need to keep a close eye to make sure it doesn’t dry out.
The “dark meat” chops you can normally find less expensively at the store can handle a longer cooking time or braising. Start with an extra five minuted in the oven then check for doneness.
Tools Used in the making of Brown Sugar Garlic Oven Baked Pork Chops:
Sheet Pan: A classic, inexpensive sheet pan that is high quality and can hold up to high temperatures in the oven. If you’d prefer you could also use…
Cast Iron Skillet: This is my most used pan in my kitchen, heavy, keeps heat well and gives the BEST sear ever.
Brown Sugar Garlic Oven Baked Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 2 pounds yukon gold potatoes cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 bone-in pork loin chops
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper divided
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, coat the potatoes in the oil, 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and spread onto half the sheet pan.
In the same bowl, cover the pork chops with the garlic, brown sugar and the rest of the salt and pepper.
Add the chops to the sheet pan.
Cover with the remaining topping.
Cook for 30-35 minutes or until the pork is at 145 degrees or more.
Let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Made this with 2 huge boneless chops that had been frozen, so think that’s why they were dry despite a much shortened cooking time. I think the bone-in chops (fresh) would yield a better result. I used quartered baby red potatoes & left them in after removing the chops.
I added Brussels sprouts mixed with Dijon mustard & olive oil to the pan and turned up the oven to 400.
The veggies were better than the chops so will try bone-in, fresh chops next time.
So moist and easy to make! Prepared over Christmas for all the family visiting!

Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. The dish was quick and easy to make with great results. We loved the flavor and texture of the potatoes and pork chops. They were delicious and perfectly cooked, tender and juicy.
The pork chop was so juicy and tender. And the potatoes were sweet from cooking them with the pork chop. Was a really good dish. Would recommend to anyone.
Loved this recipe. I thank you.
I thought the recipe was very tasty. I think I ended up cooking the chops a bit too long because I wanted the potatoes and chops more brown. I will definitely make it again and tweak the timing to my taste.
Just finished dinner. This was a great recipe. They were so tender and juicy. As someone mentioned before the time seemed a little less but less is good. Thank you very much for this. I am going to make it again. Yummy!
Can the chops be brined first?
Sure:)
Great recipe, and so easy to prepare. Instead of Yukon Gold potatoes, we went with sweet potatoes cut up into cubes. Came out evenly cooked and was delicious with the pork chops. Plan to use this recipe again!!
Hello. Want to make this recipe but it doesn’t make sense to me that you don’t sear the pork before putting in the oven. They appear seared in the photo and I’m not a chef but I understand that this is important before putting something like this in the oven as it seals the juices in the meat. Also, bone-in pork chops usually take 45 minutes to cook in the oven, and potatoes in this situation should be about 1 hour, I think. Am I missing something.
I made these tonight. I only had boneless porkchops, although they were fairly thick. I followed the recipe, except that I used carrots as well as potatoes. I cooked the vegetables for 15 minutes, then added the chops for the last 20 mimutes. It worked out fine. They were excellent.
I made this for dinner tonight. Added onion to the pork loin pan. Family LOVED it. Meat was very tender and full of flavor. Thanks for the recipe. Will use for years to come!
mmmm the chicken recipe with garlic and brown sugar!!
Can I use boneless pork chops in this recipe
It won’t have a bone to protect it from drying out so I would lessen the cook time if you decide to use them anyway.
