Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 packet (1 ounce) Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
- ¼ teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika or to taste
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 6 pork loin rib chops about 1-inch thick
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Ranch Seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper; mix well.
- Coat both sides of the pork chops with the seasoning mixture and transfer the pork chops to the baking sheet.
- Bake the pork chops for 10 minutes; turn over and continue to cook for 8 to 10 more minutes or until the pork's internal temperature registers at 145˚F. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- Remove from oven; let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Avoid Overcooking: Prevent dry pork chops by using an instant-read meat thermometer. Aim for an internal temperature of about 145˚F for ideal doneness.
- Space Out on Baking Sheet: Arrange pork chops in a single layer on the baking sheet with room around them to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Rest for Flavor: Let cooked pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This redistributes the juices, enhancing flavor and juiciness.
- Customize the Seasoning: Feel free to customize the ranch seasoning mix and paprika to your liking. You can add a bit more or less of specific seasonings based on your taste preferences.
- Serve with Complementary Sides: Pair the pork chops with a fresh garden salad, garlic mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
