Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure they will sear properly on the grill.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Let the pork chops sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for a slight pink center and juicy texture.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 3–5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
