Tender and flavorful boneless pork chops baked to perfection with a savory blend of spices. This easy and quick baked pork chops recipe yields juicy and delicious meat, making a perfect dinner option ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Pork Chops

  • 6 boneless pork chops (2.5 cm thick)

Seasoning and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the pork chops evenly.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Spray a 23×33 cm (9×13 inch) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the pork chops from sticking during baking.
  3. Make the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder thoroughly to create a balanced savory blend.
  4. Coat the pork chops with oil: Place the pork chops in the baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over them and use a basting brush to evenly coat each chop, which helps retain moisture during baking.
  5. Apply the seasoning: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the pork chops. Use the basting brush to distribute the spices evenly on all sides for consistent flavor.
  6. Bake the pork chops: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 63°C (145°F), ensuring safe and juicy meat.
  7. Rest before serving: Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute within the meat for maximum tenderness.

Notes

  • Using a meat thermometer is highly recommended to achieve perfectly cooked, juicy pork chops.
  • If using thicker pork chops, extend the baking time by 5-7 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • This recipe can be easily adapted to be gluten-free and dairy-free by ensuring the nonstick spray is suitable and no dairy is added.
