Ingredients :(Serves 4)
Four boneless pork chops, each between ¾ and 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary)
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or Dijon mustard for a flavor boost
Method :
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). To keep a baking sheet from sticking, line it with parchment paper or gently coat it with olive oil.
Step 2: Season the Pork Chops
Pat the boneless pork chops dry with paper towels—this helps the seasoning stick and promotes browning. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the chops with olive oil, then rub the spice blend evenly on both sides.
(Optional tip: For extra flavor, brush with a mixture of honey and Dijon mustard before baking.)
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Place seasoned pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer. Avoid overcooking to keep them juicy boneless pork chops!
Step 4: Rest & Serve
Before serving, give the pork chops five minutes to rest. This ensures optimal tenderness by allowing the fluids to disperse.
