    Baked Bone-In Pork Chops.

    The Best Pork Chop Seasoning

    This homemade pork chop seasoning is made with the perfect blend of herbs and spices. The combination of cumin, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper work well with pork and make it more flavorful.

    The spice blend has a perfect balance of sweet, salty, savory, and smoky, absolutely delicious!

    The Best Seasoning for Pork Chops.

    Bone-In Pork Chops

    Pork chops are leaner than skinless chicken thighs and they are notoriously easy to mess up.  Cook it too long, and you've got dry tough meat.

    To minimize the risk, I highly recommend using bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and with some marbling. The bone protects the meat from overcooking and gives a richer flavor to the meat.

    How to Bake Pork Chops in the Oven:

    Step 1. Make Your Own Homemade Seasoning for Pork Chops

    In a small bowl, combine black pepper, cumin, paprika, grain dijon mustard, brown sugar, and a small amount of oil.

    Step 4. Pan-sear the Pork Chops

      Season both sides of pork chops with salt and a pinch of black pepper.
    • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. When it's hot, cook the pork chops for about 2 minutes per side. Turn off the heat.
    • Brush both sides of pork chops with spice blend. Transfer the skillet to the oven, cook for 6-10 minutes or longer depending on the thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.

    Cast-iron skillet: Use the right size of the skillet. If the skillet is too large, the juices will dry out in the oven.

      Can you use regular dijon mustard instead of grain??

        Hi Danielle,

        Yes, you can if that's the only thing you have in your pantry. They have different flavor profiles though but both are commonly used as a seasoning.

        Let me know if you still have any other questions.

        Best,

      Is a 10 inch round cast iron skillet ok to use? I'll probably make 4 chops.

        Hi Judy,

        I think the 10-inch skillet will be too small for 4 chops.
        Please let me know if you have any questions.

        Best,

        Rika

        Hi Judy,

        I think the 13-inch pan would work as long as all 4 pieces of pork chops can fit and they do not overlap or stack onto each other. Let me know how it goes.

        Best,

        Rika
