The Best Pork Chop Seasoning

The spice blend has a perfect balance of sweet, salty, savory, and smoky, absolutely delicious!

Bone-In Pork Chops

Pork chops are leaner than skinless chicken thighs and they are notoriously easy to mess up. Cook it too long, and you've got dry tough meat.

To minimize the risk, I highly recommend using bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and with some marbling. The bone protects the meat from overcooking and gives a richer flavor to the meat.

How to Bake Pork Chops in the Oven:

Step 1. Make Your Own Homemade Seasoning for Pork Chops

In a small bowl, combine black pepper, cumin, paprika, grain dijon mustard, brown sugar, and a small amount of oil.

Step 2. Prepare the Pork Chops

Rinse the bone-in pork chops in cold water to get rid any bone fragment and debris then pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3. Preheat the oven to 450°F

Step 4. Pan-sear the Pork Chops

Season both sides of pork chops with salt and black pepper.
In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Cook the pork chops for about 2 minutes per side.

Step 5. Cover Meat with the Spice Blend

Brush both sides of pork chops with the homemade seasoning.

Step 6. Oven Bake

Transfer the skillet to the oven, cook the pork chops for about 6-10 minutes depending on the thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.

Step 6. Let the Meat Rest

Cover the meat loosely with foil and allow it to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes before cutting. The residual heat will bring it to the USDA's recommended safe minimum temperature 145°F.
