Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients to make the seasoning rub.

Step 3

Brush each pork chop with olive oil, then apply the seasoning rub liberally. Be sure to massage the rub into the meat, ensuring all sides are well-seasoned.

Step 4

Arrange the seasoned pork chops on the foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Monitor closely and when the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 140°F, as measured with an instant-read thermometer, remove from oven.

Step 6

Allow the pork chops to rest for at least 5 minutes after removal from the oven. This rest period allows for carryover cooking, which will increase the internal temperature to the recommended 145°F.

Step 7

Once the pork chops have rested, they’re ready to serve. Enjoy!
