Servings 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 bonesless pork chops (½ inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, dried parsley flakes, and dried oregano. Stir until well mixed.
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Alternatively, you can use a nonstick ceramic coated baking sheet if you prefer.
- Place the pork chops on the baking sheet in a single layer and pat them dry using a paper towel. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
- Brush each pork chop with olive oil on both sides.
- Rub the seasoning evenly over all sides of the pork chops.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit as measured with a food thermometer.
- Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Recipe Variations And Substitutions:
- Try switching up the seasonings by using this pork rub recipe or ranch seasoning.
- Bone in pork chops can be used but you will need to increase the cook time.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or pop them into the air fryer at 325 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes or until warm throughout.
- Timing is based on boneless pork chops that are ½ inch thick. If using thinner pork or thicker pork chops, you will need to adjust the cook time accordingly.
- Avoid overcooking by using a food thermometer. Pork chops need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest for 3 to 5 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the pork chops.
