JUICY BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Turn your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of olive oil over both sides of the pork chops. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides of the pork chops and place them in a baking dish. (see notes) Drizzle them with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
• Bake the pork chops uncovered for 18 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Once you remove them from the oven, let them rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

OVEN-ROASTED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 375 F.
• Place a lightly oiled 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. A ridged pan is best, but any cast-iron pan will work.
• Rub the pork chops with olive oil and then sprinkle all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If desired, sprinkle them lightly with a little garlic powder and dried thyme.
• Sear the chops in the hot skillet for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.
• Transfer the skillet with the pork chops to the preheated oven and roast for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. The pork chops should register at least 145 F on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the meat.
• Serve and enjoy.
