Recipe Tip
I recommend using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. This ensures they stay tender and don’t dry out, so you can avoid overcooking. I personally love using this meat thermometer.
Storage Tips
Serve: Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. You can keep the cooked pork out for about an hour before refrigerating it.
Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Freeze: Place cooked chops in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Thaw the chops in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Place the defrosted chops in a 325°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
Recipe Variations
If you have a little extra time, I suggest marinating the pork chops in our flavorful pork chop marinade for even juicier and more tender results!
Recipe FAQs
Can I use bone-in pork chops instead of boneless?
Yes, however, you may need to adjust the cooking time, as bone-in pork chops can take longer to cook. This makes this recipe less convenient to quickly cook on a busy weeknight.
What side dishes go well with these pork chops?
I like serving these pork chops with simple vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
What can I use instead of parchment paper?
While you can use tin foil, I prefer parchment paper for easier cleanup. Tin foil can sometimes stick to the baking sheet, making it tricky to clean.
Are you supposed to flip pork chops in the oven?
Flipping these pork chops in the oven while baking them is unnecessary. They cook quickly all the way through, which is one of the things that makes this recipe so easy.

The combination of the spices makes the pork chops delicious with wonderful flavor. The amount of baking time allows the meat to cook but still be moist and tender. I love this recipe.
