Juicy Baked Pork Chops (easy recipe that always turns out tender)

Instructions

1. 01

   Turn your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Measure the thickness of your pork chops so you know how long to bake them - see notes.

2. 02

   In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.

3. 03

   Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over both sides of the pork chops. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides of the pork chops, then place them in a baking dish - see notes. Drizzle them with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

4. 04

   Bake the pork chops uncovered for 7 minutes per ½ inch of thickness, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit - for 1 ½ inch pork chops, you'll bake them for 21 minutes. Once you remove them from the oven, let them rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
