This easy baked pork chops recipe makes the best oven baked pork chops! A simple spice rub gives the pork chops so much flavor.
Ingredients
4 Chop(s)
Pork Chop
(3 oz boneless; at least 1-inch thick)
1 tbsp
Extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp
Brown sugar
1 tsp
Thyme, dried
1 tsp
Salt
1/2 tsp
Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (you can also bake pork chops in a baking dish, without parchment).
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub pork chops with the olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Combine the brown sugar, dried thyme, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to mix well.
Rub the spice mixture over all sides of the pork chops.
Bake pork chops in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes for 1-inch thick boneless pork chops. The pork chops are done when the internal temperature measures 145° F on an instant-read thermometer. Thinner pork chops will cook faster, and bone-in pork chops will take longer to cook. Be careful not to overcook the pork chops or they may dry out.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes and then serve.
