Oven-roasted pork chops – immaculate bites

tips and tricks

1. Season generously. Don’t be shy about seasoning! The right seasoning base enhances the pork’s natural flavor and prevents it from being bland.
2. Optionally, you can sear it before baking. For a beautiful crust, briefly sear the pork chops in a hot skillet for 2 to 3 minutes on each side before placing them in the oven. This will give it some color and lock in the juice. 🤩
3. Use a meat thermometer. Check doneness with a meat thermometer. Pork is safe to eat at 145°F (63°C) and benefits from a few minutes of rest. This will redistribute the juices and keep the chops tender.
4. Let the pork chops come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.

How to prepare and store

If you prefer, you can grill the chops up to a day in advance. Allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, cover with foil to prevent drying and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Refrigerate remaining cooked pork chops in an airtight container. Stays fresh for up to 3-4 days. For even longer storage, wrap the pork chops in plastic wrap or foil and place in a freezer-safe container or bag. Pork chops can also be frozen for 2 to 3 months.

Thaw frozen pork chops in the refrigerator overnight, cover with foil, and reheat in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Avoid using the microwave as this can dry out the meat. 🙅🏿‍♀️
