# What You'll Need:

→ Pork Chops and Seasoning

01 - 4 bone-in pork chops, 1 inch thick
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Roasted Radishes

06 - 1 pound radishes, trimmed and halved
07 - 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

→ Creamy Mushroom Sauce

11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
13 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
15 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
16 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
17 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
18 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
19 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss radishes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and dried thyme. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
02 - Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove pork chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
04 - In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons butter and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and any released moisture evaporates.
05 - Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
06 - Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
07 - Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
08 - Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pork chops. Serve pork chops with creamy mushroom sauce alongside roasted radishes.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • A juicy pork chop wrapped in silky mushroom cream that actually makes you forget you're eating keto.
  • The roasted radishes taste nothing like what you'd expect—they become sweet and almost potato-like, a perfect trick no one sees coming.
  • The whole meal comes together in under 45 minutes, so it works just as well for a Tuesday as it does for impressing someone at your table.
02 -
  • Don't skip the step of patting the pork dry—moisture is the enemy of a good sear, and a good sear is what makes this feel special.
  • Cremini mushrooms brown faster and taste deeper than white buttons, and once you notice the difference, you can't go back.
03 -
  • Let your pork chops sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before searing—cold meat won't brown as well, and you want that golden crust.
  • Don't rush the mushrooms; they need time to release their moisture and caramelize, which is where all the flavor lives.
