Ingredients

4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃).
Pat dry the pork chops and season generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, add the olive oil, sugar, Creole seasoning, and Italian seasonings. Mix until thoroughly combined and forming a paste.
Season the pork chops generously with seasoning mixture and marinate in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the pork chops to a lined baking pan. Bake them for 20-25 minutes or until they reach a safe internal temperature.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Choose pork chops that all have about the same size and thickness for an even bake.
Don't skip the resting. Those extra five minutes allow the juices to redistribute and keep the chops from feeling dried out when you dig in.
Lining your baking sheet is optional, but boy, does it make cleanup a breeze. I highly recommend not skipping this step, either!
