Ingredients
  

Spice mix

  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano

Pork Chops

  • 4 boneless pork chops, 1.25 - 1.5 inch thick is best
  • 2 tbsp olive oil ( extra virgin if you want )

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F
  • Whisk the spices together
  • Trim the fat on the edge of the chops down to about 1/4 inch. You can pan fry the fat later if that's your thing.
  • Score the fat caps on the chops every half inch. This means to cut completely through the fat This prevents the chops from curling up because of how the fat cooks.
  • Coat the chops in the olive oil.
  • Rub each side of the chops in the spice mix.
  • Place the chops close together (almost touching) in a baking dish. Too much space can dry out the chops. Drizzle any remaining oil and spice mix over the chops.
  • Bake uncovered for approximately 18 minutes (internal temperature 140-145F).
  • Let rest for 5minutes, then serve.
