Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Place the pork chops in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each chop is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Once marinated, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through. You can check the doneness by making a small cut in the thickest part of the chop – it should no longer be pink.
-
Halfway through cooking, baste the pork chops with the juices from the pan to keep them moist and flavorful.
-
Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness.
