Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Bone-in Pork Chops
  • 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium Lemon Wedges
  • Fresh Herbs, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the chops and ensure they are fully coated.
  4. In a bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Press each pork chop into the cheesy mixture until they are fully covered.
  6. Arrange the chops in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and crispy.
  2. Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle with fresh herbs.

Notes

Allow the chops to rest after baking for a few minutes to help juices redistribute. For added crunch, consider coating the chops in crushed cornflakes or adjusting the recipe for a plant-based option using eggplant or tofu.
