Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven’s broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6-8 inches below the broiler element.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with olive oil or nonstick spray for easy cleanup.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to ensure proper browning.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves (if using) into a paste.
Brush the seasoning paste evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Place the seasoned pork chops on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they are not touching for even cooking.
Broil the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip them using tongs and broil for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops (they should reach an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
