1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic, coconut aminos, and olive oil.
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour the honey garlic glaze over the pork chops.

Why It Works
The honey garlic glaze is a perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a hint of spice from the black pepper.
Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet creates a delicious crust that locks in the juices.
Baking the pork chops in the oven ensures that they're cooked through evenly and that the glaze has a chance to caramelize.
