Simple Oven Baked Pork Chops Recipe
Description
This recipe uses 1-inch thick boneless pork chops brushed with olive oil and evenly coated with a dry seasoning blend. Baking in a sprayed dish raises the chops to a safe internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring tenderness without drying. The chosen spices add balanced savory flavor with mild smoky notes from paprika and depth from garlic and onion powders.
Baking at a moderate temperature allows even cooking and easy timing. Resting the chops for 5 minutes post-bake lets the meat reabsorb its juices for a more succulent bite.
The method is straightforward with basic pantry spices, yielding versatile chops that pair well with vegetables or grains. Adjust cooking time if using different pork chop thicknesses to prevent over or undercooking.
The notes highlight that cook time is for approximately 1-inch thick chops; thinner cuts will require less time and thicker cuts more.
Ingredients
- 6 pork chops 1 inch thick, boneless
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 f.
- Spray a 9X13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

- Place the pork chops in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and use a basting brush to cover the pork chops with the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on top and use the basting brush to cover the pork chops with the seasoning mixture.

Notes
- Cooking time is based on 1-inch thick pork chops; adjust accordingly for thinner or thicker pieces.
- Always check pork internal temperature reaches 145°F before removing from oven.
