Table of Contents

This Crockpot Honey Garlic Pork Chops & Carrots recipe is a rich, comforting, and incredibly easy meal that’s perfect for busy days. Juicy pork chops are coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, then slow-cooked in foil packets with tender carrots. The foil locks in moisture and flavor, creating a perfectly glazed, melt-in-your-mouth dish every time.

Ingredients

For the pork & carrots
4 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
2 cups baby carrots
Salt and black pepper to taste

For the honey garlic glaze
¼ cup honey
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

Start by preparing the foil packets. Cut large sheets of aluminum foil and divide the baby carrots evenly between each piece. This creates a base that absorbs all the delicious flavors during cooking.

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Place one pork chop over the carrots in each foil packet.

In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ketchup, paprika, and olive oil or melted butter. Stir well until the glaze is smooth and combined.

Spoon the honey garlic glaze generously over each pork chop, making sure it coats both the meat and the carrots. Seal each foil packet tightly to keep the juices inside.

Place the sealed packets into the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. The pork will become tender and juicy, while the carrots turn soft and flavorful.

Carefully open the foil packets once done, as hot steam will escape. Spoon the extra sauce over the pork chops before serving for added flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sweet garlic sauce. You can also add potatoes directly into the foil packets for a complete one-pot meal.

Tips
Use thick-cut pork chops for the best results and to prevent drying out. For a caramelized finish, broil the cooked pork chops for 3–5 minutes. If you prefer a spicy kick, add chili flakes or a little sriracha to the glaze.

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

This dish is simple, flavorful, and perfect for a satisfying homemade dinner.
