Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups plain bread crumbs
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil
- 1 Tablespoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon celery salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 boneless pork chops
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a sheet pan with nonstick spray. This step ensures your oven is hot and ready, and the pork chops won’t stick to the pan during cooking.
- Mix Coating: Combine the bread crumbs, oil, and all the spices in a large ziplock bag and shake to combine. This creates a uniform coating mixture that will adhere well to the pork chops.
- Coat Pork Chops: Place one pork chop into the ziplock bag and seal the bag tightly. Shake the bag to ensure the pork chop is well coated. Transfer the pork chop to the sheet pan and repeat this with the remaining pork chops. This method ensures each chop is evenly coated without making a mess.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. This cooking time and temperature will result in juicy, perfectly cooked pork chops with a crispy exterior.
Notes
- Pat your pork chops dry with paper towels before coating to ensure a crispy exterior.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for 145°F internal temperature.
- For extra crunch, add a small amount of crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs to the coating mixture.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to redistribute juices.
