  3. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the pork chops.

  2. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
  3. Transfer the seared pork chops to a baking dish and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Make sure to let the pork chops rest after baking to retain juices. Use different herbs or add cayenne pepper for variations.
