In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, gluten-free tamari sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Grill the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.

Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
