Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
Optional Sides
  • Your favorite sides (e.g., vegetables, potatoes)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme to create the spice rub.
  3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil.
  4. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
  5. Place the pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
  2. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, pat the pork chops dry before applying oil and spice rub. This helps to create a nice crust. Don't skip the resting time after baking, as it allows the juices to redistribute. Keep an eye on the cooking time; thinner chops will cook faster than thicker ones.
