Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place them on a plate or cutting board.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Drizzle olive oil evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Rub the seasoning mixture generously onto each side of the chops.

Step 5

Transfer the seasoned pork chops to the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each pork chop.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) before serving. Serve with your favorite sides.
