I stole this recipe for Baked Pork Chops from kristineskitchenblog.com. The secret to these pork chops is the dry rub. Brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt and pepper are mixed together in a bowl. Then pork chops are placed on a baking sheet and rubbed with olive oil.

Combine the brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Then stir to mix well.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Then pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub pork chops with olive oil and place on parchment paper. Next rub the spice mixture over all the sides of the pork chops.

Bake pork chops in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes for 1-inch thick boneless pork chops. The pork chops are done when the internal temperature measures 145 F.

Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
