    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil or parchment paper.

Notes

  • The USDA’s safe temperature guideline for pork chops is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • I remove the pork chops from the oven when they reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees and let them rest for 5 minutes. During this resting period the temperature should rise up to 145 degrees. 
  • I season the pork chops on the baking sheet for easy cleanup,
