These delicious clean eating barbecue rosemary pork chops could be the most delicious thing to come off your grill this season!

While I try to limit my pork consumption, sometimes it’s a wonderful way to get a little variety in a clean eating plan. Especially when it’s cooked right.

Not to long ago, we got a new grill, and I’ve been grilling ever since. I just can’t get enough of it!

I used to bake my pork in the oven and always came up with a bland, rubbery piece of something that was supposed to be meat. But the new grill changed all that. This was sooooo yummy!

Instructions

  • Unwrap the pork. I like to rinse mine off a bit, but that’s a personal choice. You don’t have to.

  • Prepare your rosemary. Simply run your fingers backwards over the tough stems to remove the leaf from the twig.

  • Put everything in a Ziploc bag and “moosh” it around to get the pork covered in oil and rosemary. Allow to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

  • Toss those puppies on the grill until done. A meat thermometer should read 170 degrees F. when done.

  1. Yum! SO glad I found this site! Each and every recipe seems right up my alley, and I love that you include kids in your cooking adventures! I’ve got three and one of my goals is to teach them how to eat well.

  2. Are you sure you cooked your BBQ Rosemary Pork Chops for 30 minutes? I think it should be more like 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on the thickness.

    Reply

    1. Di – I’m sure. They were a good thickness. It was definitely 30 minutes.

  3. This recipe was incredible! I can’t believe how tasty the pork chops turned out using such simple ingredients. I was skeptical…but you were right! My husband RAVED about the pork chops. Even today, several days later, he is still talking about them. He just said “Those were probably the best pork chops I have ever eaten”. Thanks for the recipe!!!!

    1. Amber – Fantastic!! I always love it when I covert a husband. They are the toughest critics. Especially with meat!

  4. That has actually changed as of late. I love pork and I do eat it more frequently now. Some folks question how clean pork can be considering how the meat is processed. But if you can afford to buy organic and pastured pork, it’s actually a pretty good choice in my opinion. Others may not agree.

  5. Being that I’m still a “newbie” in clean and cooking (age notwithstanding) is dried rosemary ok to use if fresh not around? And do you think this will work on chicken? Thanks!!!!

    Reply

    1. Yes and yes. 🙂 Enjoy!

  6. Is brown rice clean eating too? I would like to have that as a side dish along with some broccoli? In the brown rice I would use extra virgin olive oil infused with organic butter. Mmmm, it’s better than butter! Btw, the recipe sounds great and can’t wait to try it.

    Reply

    1. Yup, perfectly clean. Enjoy!

  7. These were amazing! My husband and all three kids LOVED them!!!!

    Reply

    1. Amber – Awesome!!! Glad you all enjoyed them!

  8. Dinner ruined. My common sense should have said about 12 minutes because when I say these are burnt….they can’t even be cut into. Next time about 10-12 minutes.

    Reply

    1. Veronica – I’m sorry. The thickness makes a difference. I changed the directions, but it did say to use a thermometer. Did you have one handy?

      Reply

  9. I made these the other night. They are fantastic. You can add a little mustard and a little honey to the marinade. It caramelizes it so nicely! Rosemary is a favorite seasoning with me so this is perfect. AND it is easy to do!!! Love easy!!!

    1. Thanks Denise!

FAQs

How to bbq pork chops perfectly? ›

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt, pepper and a spice rub if you'd like, then brush them with oil. Sear the chops on the hot side of the grill and let them cook until they easily release without sticking, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side 4 minutes more.

What makes pork chops better? ›

Brining pork chops is one of the best ways way to guarantee a juicy cooked pork chop. Even a quick 30-minute brine (or up to four hours) makes a big difference. It's not strictly necessary — you can still use this method to make great pork chops even without brining — but if you have some extra time, I recommend it.

How long should you cook pork chops on the BBQ? ›

Grill the pork chops over direct heat, with the lid closed, until the pork chops are well-marked, for 8-12 minutes total, turning once. For juicy pork chops, the chops should still be barely pink in the middle and 140°F. Rest the chops for 5 minutes for the juices to set into the meat before cutting, and serve.

What is the secret to moist tender pork chops? ›

Fat is key to keeping pork chops moist

Basting them with fat, such as butter. Add in aromatics while basting for more flavor — similar to how you might cook a steak — and then you have the added bonus of browned butter and crispy garlic and/or herbs to serve with the meat.

What should I season pork chops with? ›

Pork Chop Seasoning Ingredients
  1. 2 Tablespoons smoked paprika.
  2. 1 Tablespoon kosher salt.
  3. 1 Tablespoon black pepper.
  4. 1 Tablespoon brown sugar.
  5. 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  6. 1 teaspoon onion powder.
  7. 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard.
  8. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Do you grill pork chops on high or low heat? ›

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400 degrees) 20 minutes prior to grilling. Place pork chops on grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Move pork chops to indirect heat (or lower temp to medium) and cook for 8-12 more minutes, flipping once, or until pork chops reach 145 degrees F.

Do you close the grill when cooking pork chops? ›

If you're cooking chops that are an inch thick or thicker, close the lid if you're using a gas grill to help maintain the grilling temperature. You can grill the chops uncovered on a charcoal grill regardless of thickness. Flip the pork when it releases from the grate easily. If it's sticking, it's not ready.

How do you get BBQ sauce to stick to pork chops? ›

Heat the bbq sauce up before basting the sauce on to the chops during cooking. The sauce will stick to the food better if you heat the sauce up first.
