Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub both sides of the pork chops with olive oil, then season evenly with the spice mix.
Place the pork chops in a baking dish or on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Use bone-in pork chops if preferred, just add a few more minutes of cook time.
For extra flavor, marinate the chops in olive oil and spices for 30 minutes before baking.
To prevent overcooking, use a meat thermometer and pull the chops once they hit 145°F.
