Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork chops
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the seasoning mix over both sides of the pork chops.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Notes
