Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and ensure they are well coated on both sides. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the pork chops are marinating, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Arrange the marinated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C), and the juices run clear.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps lock in the juices.
Serve the juicy baked pork chops with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
