One of the best things about this recipe is that you don’t have to rely on prepackaged ranch dressing. If you are like me, you don’t want those extra preservatives in your food when trying to eat healthy.
You can use this recipe as a starting point and then adjust it to your own tastes. Once you figure out the blend that you like, you can add it to Greek yogurt for a healthier version of salad dressing or dip.
RANCH-RUBBED ROASTED PORK CHOPS
Ingredients
- Dry Ranch Seasoning:
- 2 T. dried dill weed
- 3 T. dried parsley
- 2 t. onion powder
- 2 t. garlic powder
- 2 t. kosher salt
- ½ t. freshly ground black pepper
- Pork Chops:
- 2 T. ranch seasoning (recipe above)
- 1 T. extra virgin olive oil
- 4 bone-in thick-cut pork chops, approximately 1” thick
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
- To make the ranch seasoning, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- 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).
- 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.

I used to love my pork chops done with a nice corn flakes coating before I started eating keto so I was happy to find this recipe to liven up just plain old baked pork chops and make them tasty once again.
