Delicious and simple Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops with a crispy golden crust, perfect for busy weeknight dinners or family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- Brush the pork chops with olive oil on both sides to enhance flavor and help the crust adhere.
- Generously coat each pork chop in the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
- Lay the coated pork chops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked through and the crust reaches a beautiful golden brown.
- Once done, let the chops rest for a few minutes to keep them juicy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve alongside your favorite vegetables or potatoes.
Notes
For best results, ensure pork chops are at room temperature before cooking. Marinating in olive oil, garlic, and herbs can enhance flavor.
