Notes
- Broil for crisp edges: Broiling at the end gives the pork chops a caramelized, golden-brown finish, don’t skip it.
- Use a meat thermometer: Pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Avoid overcrowding: Space the chops evenly in the baking dish so they cook uniformly.
- Let them rest: Covering the pork chops with foil after baking helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
- Double the batch: Easily scale the recipe for meal prep or larger families.
- Marinate ahead of time: For deeper flavor, coat the pork chops in oil and ranch seasoning and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before baking.
- Add vegetables: Toss potatoes or carrots in a bit of olive oil and ranch seasoning and roast them in the same dish for an easy one-pan meal.
