Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces Pork Chops (bone-in or boneless) Choose your preferred cut.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated) Freshly grated is preferable for better flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (freshly minced) Adjust to taste.
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Herbs (e.g., Italian seasoning) You can also use a mix of your favorite herbs.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with other cooking oils.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Brush both sides of each pork chop with olive oil.
  4. Coat each chop with the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to help it stick.
  5. Place the coated pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
  2. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  3. Once done, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Can be garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges. For extra crunch, consider adding breadcrumbs to the Parmesan mixture. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking the pork chops for even cooking. Let the pork chops rest after baking to keep them juicy and tender.
