In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
Remove pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
Place pork chops on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve immediately with your choice of paleo-friendly sides.
