Keto Brown Sugar Chops are a delicious and savory dish. it has the same taste as regular sweet-glazed pork chops. We make them with the help of a keto swerve brown. These chops are a delectable blend of savory & sweet flavors, which are perfectly low-carb. Cover each chop in a glaze, and then fry until golden. They taste like caramelized brown sugar without the added carbs. Combine the garlic, paprika, and apple cider vinegar to create the sauce. Serve Keto Brown Sugar Chops with sautéed green beans, zucchini noodles, or roasted cauliflower for a whole dinner that perfectly complements your low-carb way of life.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
PORK CHOPS:
- Boneless pork chops are perfect for pan-searing since they are soft and cook rapidly. You can use bone-in chops, but it will take more time.
SWERVE BROWN:
- Swerve Brown or Lakanto Golden, two keto brown sugar substitutes, taste just like real brown sugar. It provides the traditional glaze.
BUTTER:
- Butter makes the glaze stick to the pork and adds richness. Grass-fed butter adds more healthful fats and a richer flavor.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil keeps the pork wet while achieving an even sear. It keeps the butter from burning too rapidly. Opt for extra virgin for optimal flavor.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- Apple cider vinegar provides the acidic taste, which counterbalances the sweetness.
GARLIC POWDER:
- It adds a light savory taste. It goes well with the sweetness and mixes beautifully with the glaze.
PAPRIKA:
- Paprika offers a hint of smoky taste and color. It improves the look of the glaze and aids in evenly seasoning the meat.
BLACK PEPPER:
- Black pepper and salt are necessary for balance. Adapt according to the personal choice.
COCONUT AMINOS:
- Coconut aminos give the glaze a rich umami flavor. They provide a delicious undertone and depth.
