How to Make Baked Spiced Pork Chops

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Grind spices to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
  3. Lightly dust one side of each pork chop (about 4, 6 oz each) with the spice mixture.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown both sides of the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Slice one large yellow onion into thick rings.
  6. Arrange onion rings in a large baking pan lined with foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
  7. Place browned pork chops on top of the onions. Dust with the remaining spice mixture.
  8. Fold the foil over to create a sealed pouch.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  10. Carefully open the foil pouch (watch out for steam!), and serve the pork chops with the onions and sauce.
