Costolette di maiale al forno con 4 ingredienti

Ingredienti

• 4 Pork Chops (8 oz each, 1 inch thickness )
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce (don't add salt if you use soy sauce!)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Bring the pork chops to room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, prepare the pork rub in a mixing bowl: stir olive oil, brown sugar, paprika, and Italian seasoning, plus any optional ingredients listed above.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

4. 4

   Rub the pork chops on both sides with the rub mixture.

5. 5

   Place the pork chops on a ceramic baking dish. Make sure they don't overlap but don't select dish too large as you want the chops to soak well in the juice they release.

6. 6

   Bake uncovered for 14-16 minutes on the center rack of the oven or 8 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness (for pork chops with bone, or 7 minutes if no bone). Bake until the meat's internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), not more or the meat gets dry.

7. 7

   Let the meat cool down for a few minutes in the dish, and add fresh rosemary, a pinch of sea salt flakes, and black peppercorn.

8. 8

   Serve with any side dish you love, like air fryer green beans, cauliflower casserole, or roasted cauliflower.
