Now, there are many recipes around for spiced pork chops, but most of them involve marinating. I discovered that it really isn’t necessary! So this low carb recipe is even easier – just dunk the pork in the spice mix and get grilling!
Watch the recipe video tutorial or scroll down for the full details and printable recipe card!
Grab a large plastic sealable bag (and preferably place it in a baggy stand – you DO have one of those, don’t you?!?) and add olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, onion powder, ground cumin, garlic paste and salt and pepper. Squish it around to mix everything together.
Add the boneless pork chops and massage the marinade sauce around the meat. I did this while my grill pan was heating up – so the meat was in the spice mix for only about five minutes!
Season the chops with salt and pepper on both sides, and discard the sauce. Cook the chops until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side for chops with an average thickness.
Serve with salad, horseradish coleslaw, or both!

January 5, 2019 at 12:30 pmCan this be frozen in seal a meal for future use?
Georgina says
January 5, 2019 at 3:54 pmSorry, I’m not familiar with seal a meal. I wonder if anyone else has tried it? Georgina
Kathy says
January 5, 2019 at 8:54 pmSorry, it’s a Foodsaver. It seals airtight for the freezer. So the question would be does the marinated meat freeze well?

March 17, 2019 at 8:58 amQuick question, was just looking for a low carb recipe for big package of bone in pork chops I bought on sale, any reason why this wouldn’t work on bone in? I was intending to cook in cast iron skillet.
Georgina says
March 17, 2019 at 9:32 amI think a bone-in chop would work just as well!
