Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste.
2
Combine the cumin, coriander, garlic powder, chopped rosemary and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on all sides of the pork chops.
3
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron skillet or oven proof sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 2 minutes on each side, or until a nice golden brown crust has formed. Remove from heat.
4
Place the skillet into the oven and bake for 8-15 minutes, or until an internal thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop registers 145 degrees. Cooking temperature will vary based on the thickness of your pork chops!
5
Remove from heat, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Spices First 🌟Toast the cumin and coriander in a dry pan for 30 seconds before grinding and applying to the pork chops to intensify their warm, complex flavors.
- Achieve the Perfect Crust 🔥Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels and use a screaming hot cast-iron skillet for a golden-brown crust that locks in juices before baking.
- Room Temperature is Key 🌡️Remove pork chops from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout and prevent a cold center when baked.
- Layer Your Aromatics 🧄Add minced fresh garlic and rosemary sprigs directly to the pan after searing, then transfer together to the oven for infused flavor that's more vibrant than garlic powder alone.
- Don't Skip the Rest 😌Let cooked pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow residual heat to finish cooking while muscles relax, ensuring maximum juiciness and tenderness.
