These Rosemary Dijon Pork Chops are easy to make and so flavorful. Perfect for the grill, but still delicious cooked indoors. They're paleo, dairy free, low carb, low FODMAP and sugar free.
This marinade was something I threw together when we needed a meal quick and it came out so good that I made it again and measured everything. I used pork both times, but it's a marinade that would work perfectly with chicken as well.
Baking (Cooking) Challenge
This is the second recipe (first month) in my baking challenge that I'm starting. I thought it would be fun to challenge all of you to make a new recipe. This is obviously not baking, but I wanted to include everyone so I'm doing a Whole30 recipe as well in case you're doing one currently. That way everyone can participate. HERE is my other recipe for the month.
- Once you make it, take a picture and post it on Instagram, Facebook, or email it to me: realfoodbakingchallenge@gmail.com (you don't need to do all 3). If posting to Instagram, use the #realfoodbakingchallenge hashtag so I can find it. If your profile is private, send me a DM. If using Facebook, just post to my page and I'll see it.
- Bonus entry if you come back and leave a review on the recipe you made
- I'll randomly choose a winner to win $100 Amazon gift card. Yay!
- I also shared some Paleo Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies and if you make both recipes you are entered twice! Then we'll start over the next month. I'm looking forward to seeing all the recreations.
Lets talk about the simple ingredients:
Dijon Mustard- Annie's is the only brand I have used (and I love it) since a lot of brands list "spices" and I can't take a chance that that include garlic and onion. You can use whatever works for you, but definitely double check ingredients as some major brands contain HFCS or sugar.
Garlic Oil- gives great garlic flavor without stomach discomfort. If not needing low FODMAP then feel free to use garlic powder and all avocado oil
Avocado Oil- mild in flavor and has a high smoke point. So great for marinades
Coconut Aminos- always so good in marinades. Adds savoriness and just a little sweetness.
Fresh Rosemary- adds such great flavor and freshness
Low FODMAP Pork Chops
These pork chops are kept low FODMAP by using garlic oil for the garlic flavor. All the other ingredients are compliant. CLICK HERE for more info on low FODMAP. If not needing low FODMAP, use all avocado oil and add 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder.
They are juicy and moist on the inside and so packed with flavor from the marinade.
I hope you try and love these! Super easy and delicious and a meal the whole family will love.

Paleo Rosemary Dijon Pork Chops
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons garlic oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 boneless pork chops
Instructions
- In a glaze container big enough to hold the pork, combine the mustard, garlic oil, avocado oil, coconut aminos, salt, and rosemary. Stir until well combined. Add in the pork chops and make sure to press them so they are fully covered. Marinate for at least one hour or up to overnight.
- Grill at medium/high heat about 5 minutes a side, but this really depends on how thick your pork chops are and how hot your grill is. You want them to be 145°-150° internally.
- These could also be baked or cooked on the stove top if you don't have a grill.

I just made this for dinner and it was delicious! The mustard and coconut aminos blend for an amazing tangy flavor. Thank you so much for providing a delicious low fodmap recipe. I'm going to use it to marinate chicken next time. Yum!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Donna! I'm so glad you love them 🙂
Maria Figueredo says
I was a little nervous about so much mustard so I reduce some. I came out delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Pamela Rawn says
We’ve loved this recipe since I discovered it a few short weeks ago. Tonight we switched from pork chops to portobello mushrooms and it was fantastic!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying it, Pamela and so glad you are enjoying the recipe 🙂
Steph says
What oven temperature would you use and for how long? I’m excited to try these
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Steph- the most important thing is to make sure they are 145° when done, so that could depend on the thickness of your pork chops. If they are thick, like Butcher Box's (1 1/2 inches about), then I would say in the oven at 375° for about 20 minutes. I hope that helps and you enjoy!
Gail says
My husband and I agreed that these were some of the best tasting pork chops we've ever eaten! Great recipe!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Gail! I'm so glad you both enjoyed them!
Brie says
Perfect for a hot spring evening! Grilled these with some asparagus- delish! My two-year-old ate an entire pork chop all to himself, haha!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying them, Brie! I'm so glad you and your son like them 🙂
Jayne Boyle says
I used fresh thyme since I didn’t have rosemary and they were delicious. But, I now have rosemary to make them again!
Jessica DeMay says
I love that you used thyme- I bet that's delicious! Thanks for trying them, Jayne!
Carrie says
I didn’t have any rosemary & my grill wasn’t available so I used the broiler. These were really good even though I hate mustard!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Carrie! I'm glad you liked them!
Jessica DeMay says
Also, I'm not sure why is was making me wait to approve your other messages but this went through no problem!
Amy says
These were delicious!!! The marinade was good that my husband didn't smother the pork in bbq sauce, which is a HUGE compliment!! He was raving about the flavor. I cooked them on the stovetop this time, but next time I'll definitely fire up the grill and buy fresh rosemary too. Great 1st choice for your new baking challenge!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying them, Amy! I'm so glad they were enjoyed 🙂
Amy Tessier says
I just made this recipe again, but on the grill this time - even better!! Thanks again for an awesome recipe!
Jessica DeMay says
You're welcome, Amy! Thanks for trying them again 🙂
Miranda Wilder says
How long and at what temp did you cook them in the oven?
Eleni says
This dish was Insanely delicious. I would highly recommend this to all of my friends. I let the chicken marinate overnight and I think that made all the difference, I also cooked it in a cast iron skillet. I would try this recipe with pork as well. It’s very flavorful.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Eleni! I'm glad you tried them and love them!
