Oven Baked Pork Chops
Easy oven baked pork chops with garlic, butter, and spices. A quick, homemade dinner recipe using bone-in pork chops baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 4 bone in pork chops about 1-inch thick
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder or cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter cut into 4 pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Thoroughly pat the pork chops dry on both sides with paper towels. Mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, and chipotle powder in a small bowl.
- Place the pork chops on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a baking dish. Drizzle both sides with olive oil, then season generously with the spice mixture.
- Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic over each pork chop. Top each one with a piece of butter.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let the pork chops rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- The bake time will vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops. This recipe works best with chops that are about 1 inch thick.
- For extra flavor and a golden crust, pan sear the pork chops in an oven safe skillet before baking. Add garlic and butter after searing, then transfer to the oven.
- Spoon some of the pan drippings over the chops before serving for even more flavor.
