Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops 3/4 to 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
½ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
Rub the olive oil evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops, gently rubbing it in so it adheres.
Place the pork chops on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F at the thickest part.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Allow the pork chops to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.

Choose pork chops that are 3/4 to 1 inch thick for the best results. Thinner chops may dry out quickly, while thicker chops may require a longer cooking time.
