4.Drizzle the olive oil over both sides of each pork chop, rubbing it in evenly.

5.Press the herb and spice mixture onto both sides of each pork chop, ensuring an even coating that adheres well.

6.Place the pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased oven-safe dish, spacing them evenly.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

8.Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

9.Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
