Equipment
- 1 Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Low Sodium Ranch Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon OLIVE OILsalad or cooking
- 12 oz PORK CENTER LOIN RAW, CHOP/ROAST
Instructions
- Make the low sodium ranch seasoning for the recipe.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Rub pork chops with 1-2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning (divided evenly among all 4 chops), until coated. (Store remaining ranch seasoning in an airtight container for later use). Recipe is nutritionally evaluated using 2T of dry ranch seasoning.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding seasoned pork chops to skillet. Sear pork chops on each side until browned, approximately 2 minutes per side.
- Once browned, transfer pork chops to the lined baking sheet, leaving room between each pork chop so they are not over-crowded. Place baking sheet in the pre-heated oven and roast for 8 minutes before turning each chop.
- Continue roasting another 8-10 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the chop reads 145°F (medium-rare) to 160°F (medium).
- Remove chops from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
