Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Pour the maple glaze over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try using a smoked maple syrup. You can also experiment with different mustards, such as whole grain or spicy brown, to change the flavor profile. For a touch of herbaceousness, add fresh thyme or rosemary to the glaze before baking.
