How to Make the BEST Baked Pork Chops
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep. Preheat the oven to 400º F. Coat the baking dish with olive oil. Set aside. Prepare the pork chops. While the oven preheats, pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Brush the pork chops with olive oil and sprinkle with brown sugar (if using) and Stone House Seasoning. Arrange in the baking dish and allow the seasoned pork chops to rest for about 10 minutes before placing them in the oven. Bake. Cook the pork chops for 7 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness until the internal temperature reaches 145º F when checked with an instant-read thermometer, about 14 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, spoon any pan juices over the baked pork chops, and sprinkle with chopped rosemary and fresh parsley if using. Tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving for extra juicy pork chops.
Storage Tips
How to Make One Pan Pork Chop Dinner
Here’s my Juicy Baked Pork Chops recipe. I hope you love them as much as we do! To freeze. Prepare the pork chops without baking. Store in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake according to the directions. Additional baking time may be needed when baking once chilled. To store leftovers. Baked pork chops should be covered tightly or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
Use a rimmed baking sheet rather than a baking dish. Preheat the oven to 400º F. Arrange the pork chops in the center of the baking sheet and add the vegetables in a single layer at the ends or around the edges of the baking sheet. Vegetables that work well are squash and zucchini cut in half and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces, broccoli cut into 1-inch pieces, asparagus with the woody ends broken off, and pepper slices. Check the internal temperature of the pork chops (145º F) as well as the doneness of the vegetables before removing them from the oven.
