For best results, use high-quality, pure maple syrup. Pork chops should be at room temperature before searing for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the pork chops; work in batches if necessary. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork chops are cooked to a safe internal temperature. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed sweet potatoes for a complete meal.
