How to Make Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pork Chops
Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet or baking dish with foil for easy cleanup.
Season the pork chops
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and paprika.
Rub both sides of the pork chops with olive oil, then season them evenly with the spice mixture.
Bake
Arrange the pork chops on the prepared pan in a single layer.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on thickness, until cooked through and nicely browned.
For extra color, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
Finish and serve
If using butter, place a small dab on each pork chop right after baking.
Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, vegetables, rice, or salad.
