These oven baked pork chops are one of those recipes that everyone asks for after the first bite. They are juicy, flavorful, and coated in the most delicious sweet and savory seasoning blend made with brown sugar, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Ingredients
- 6 Thick cut pork chops
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 4 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange pork chops in a single layer on baking sheet and rub them down with the olive oil, coating both sides.
- Sprinkle seasoning blend on both sides of pork chops.
- Bake for ~40 minutes or until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145℉.
- For maximum flavor, allow the meat to rest for 3-5 on the baking sheet before serving. This will allow them to reabsorb most of the juice they released while cooking.
