Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops
  • 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless, at least 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Baking dish or rimmed baking sheet
  • Instant read thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, coconut sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the seasoning.
  2. Place the pork chops in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle the seasoning on both sides, then rub it in.
  3. Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until an instant read thermometer reads 145°F (65°C). Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes to keep them juicy. Spoon pan juices over the top before serving.

Notes

Store cooked pork chops in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If your pork chops are smaller than 1-inch thick, they will cook faster, so check the internal temperature sooner. For more caramelized edges, you can use your broiler for the last few minutes of cooking, but do this before the pork chops reach their final internal temperature to avoid overcooking.
