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, combine 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 olive oil on both sides of the pork chops. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides and rub it in.
  3. Bake the pork chops uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes. They are done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (65°C). Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon any pan juices over the top.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. If your pork chops are thinner than 1 inch, they will cook faster, so check the internal temperature sooner. For caramelized edges, you can use the broiler for the last few minutes of cooking, but watch them closely to avoid overcooking.
