Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed (recommended to add a touch of sweetness and lightly caramelize the exterior, but can be omitted if you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 4 pork chops (remove them from the fridge about 15 minutes before baking. I used bone-in pork chops that are about 3/4-inch thick for this recipe; boneless pork chops may be substituted noting they'll likely bake a bit faster)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or as needed
- fresh herbs optional for garnishing (parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and spray a large baking or casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a small bowl, add the garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and mix lightly with a small spoon to create the dry rub; set aside momentarily.
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place them in the baking dish.
- Drizzle them evenly with olive oil and rub it in lightly with your fingertips.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry rub over the chops, making sure to get both sides, and rub it in to evenly coat the pork chops.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until done. Pork chops are done when the internal temp is 165F as measured by an instant read thermometer. Allow the pork chops to rest about 5-10 minutes before optionally garnishing, slicing, and serving.

Notes
