Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Bone-in Pork Chops
  • 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese For the best flavor and texture, use freshly grated.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 medium Lemon Wedges For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
Coating
  1. In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  2. Dip each pork chop into the Parmesan mixture, pressing down to ensure it sticks well on both sides.
Baking
  1. Place the coated pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  3. Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve with lemon wedges and fresh herbs on top.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness. Experiment with different herbs or spices for a twist.
