Ingredients
- 2 pounds bone-in pork chops

- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Optional - freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush both sides of all pork chops with olive oil. Reserve some olive oil if possible.
- Combine the paprika, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cumin in a small bowl and stir together.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the pork chops.
- Place pork chops on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining olive oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pork chops from the oven and flip. Drizzle with any pan sauces.
- Bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes until the center of the pork chops registers 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.

Notes
*You can use boneless pork chops as well, but they may need 2 to 3 minutes less baking time, depending on their thickness. Check the chops after a total of 15 minutes of baking time with an instant-read thermometer.
