Baked pork chops

Few ingredients to enhance the flavor of these delicious baked pork chops, perfect to serve with a side of potatoes.

Tired of the same old slice in the pan? Try the baked pork chops, a second course that is simple to prepare and perfect for family dinners . The choice is yours whether to cook the potatoes together, so as to reduce worries to zero, or to combine them with a more classic side dish such as a green salad .

The trick to keeping pork chops soft and juicy is cooking. As far as flavor is concerned, however, it is the marinade ingredients that make the difference. We love garlic, sage and rosemary but you can use the ones you prefer: oregano, bay leaf, thyme… Our advice is to chop them finely with a knife or use the ones already ready so that they are distributed well on the meat.
