Instructions
Preparation
In a bowl, mix together the dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, onion powder, oregano, basil, and half of the kosher salt and black pepper until well combined.
Place the pork chops in a zipper bag, pour the marinade over them, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the grated parmesan cheese evenly in a shallow dish.
Take the chops out of the bag and allow excess marinade to drip off. Coat each chop generously in the parmesan cheese.
Season the coated chops with the remaining salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F (69°C). Broil for a couple of minutes for extra crispiness.
Notes
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
