Baked Pork Chops with Brown Sugar

Serves 4

Ingredients:

🥩  4 boneless pork loin chops about 1-inch thick

🫒  3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

🧂  1 tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

🧄  ½ tsp garlic powder

🧅  ¼ tsp onion powder

🌶️  ½ tsp chili powder

2 tbsp brown sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a large, 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and brown sugar.

Lay pork chops in the prepared baking dish, side by side but not touching. Coat both sides of each chop with the olive oil.

Sprinkle half of the seasoning blend over the tops of the pork chops and rub into the meat with your hands. Repeat on the flip side of the meat.

Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pork registers 145°F (63°) on a meat thermometer.

Tent with foil and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Serve over rice.
