Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Step 4
Rub this olive oil mixture over both sides of each pork chop, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Place the seasoned pork chops on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Squeeze the lemon juice over the pork chops, adding a subtle zing to enhance their flavor.
Step 7
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they register an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop.
Step 8
Remove the pork chops from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute within the meat, ensuring a juicy outcome.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, enjoying the perfect combination of flavor and succulence.
