Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean up.
- In a small bowl, mix the dry rub ingredients.
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Drizzle and rub the pork with olive oil and season them with the dry rub. Rub the seasoning all over the chops (both sides)
- Place the pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Please read notes about carryover cooking and decide at what exact temperature to remove the pork from the oven.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, tented with aluminum foil. While the meat rests - the temperature will redistribute (carryover cooking) and the internal temperature will rise about 5 to 10 degrees. Serve.

Notes
- Size Matters: Choosing thick pork chops of at least 1-inch thick (preferably pork loin chops), whether they are thick boneless pork chops or bone-in pork chops, guarantees a great meal with minimal effort.
- Boneless or Bone-In: This recipe can be made with both. Bone-in chops will take a bit longer to cook.
- Make it a Meal: Turn these oven baked pork chops into a one-pan meal by adding a few veggies to the baking pan.
- USDA Guidelines:For best results, pork chops should be cooked to medium-rare or 145ºF which is the USDA’s safe temperature guideline for consuming pork.
- When is the Pork Ready? To prevent overcooking the meat, remove the pork from the oven when the temperature reaches between 135º - 140ºF. Allow the pork to rest, lightly tented with foil for 5-10 minutes. During this "resting time" the temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees.
- Cooking Time: Exact cooking times will vary depending on the size, thickness and type of pork chops used. To guarantee great results, always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Storing: Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Make-Ahead: You can season the pork a day in advance. Keep it in the fridge and allow to come to temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
