Pork Chops
We understand that pork chops often have a negative reputation. When mishandled, they can turn out dry, tasteless, and uninspiring. However, when prepared correctly, pork chops can be incredibly flavorful and delightfully tender. Baking your pork chops is a wonderful technique that ensures a perfectly cooked interior and a delectably crisp crust. A prime example of this cooking method is our oven-baked recipe featuring aromatic rosemary and garlic. Pair these succulent pork chops with roasted vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes for a hassle-free weeknight dinner that will quickly become a regular rotation in your meal plans.
