Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, about 1"-thick
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c. finely grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, then coat both sides with oil.
