If you’ve been here long, you’ve heard me rave about our Ooni pizza oven, but did you know it does SO much more than bake perfect pizza? Let the Ooni versatility inspiration continue. Since I’m over here still dreaming about the pork chops we fired up to juicy perfection on our Ooni Koda 16, I have to share.
We enjoyed these on Memorial Day, and I can assure you, they’ll be a summertime staple!
In just minutes, we savored the juiciest, tenderest, most flavorful pork chops ever, and they’re SO easy to cook to perfection. I kid you not, these are the best chops I’ve ever had. Grateful for a freezer stocked with high-quality pastured pork to feed my family (and our taste buds).

Note: three years later, and Rusty still says this is one of the most worthwhile purchases we’ve ever made.
pizza oven pork chops
WHAT YOU NEED:
-
2 boneless pork chops (bone-in would work too)
-
olive oil
-
1 tbsp coconut sugar
-
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
-
sea salt
-
3 tbsp butter
-
2 peaches (or stone fruit of your choice), quartered
-
3 sprigs fresh thyme
-
1 cup apple cider vinegar
WHAT YOU DO:
Pull the chops out about 30 minutes ahead of time so they get to room temp.
Turn your Ooni oven on to medium heat and let it get to 375F.
Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, coconut sugar, white wine vinegar, and salt to taste. Then, add the chops and coat well with the marinade.
Add a little extra olive oil to a skillet and place it inside the oven to warm up. Add the butter to the pan once it’s nice and warm.
Once the butter melts, add the pork chops, and place the skillet in the oven to cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chops are golden brown on one side; then, flip them and add the peaches and thyme into the melted butter and pour in the apple cider.
Return the pan to the oven to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pork chops are golden all over and the peaches have softened and caramelized.
Leave the chops to rest in the pan for 5 minutes, covered with foil, then slice and serve with spoonfuls of the cooked peaches and juices. and ENJOY!
