Gluten Free Ranch-Rubbed Roasted Pork Chops

Gluten Free Ranch-Rubbed Roasted Pork Chops

No need to buy pre-packaged ranch dressing or seasoning when it is so easy to make your own. Use the recipe provided below as a guideline, then adjust the seasonings to suit your own tastes. Once you’ve found the perfect blend, you can mix up larger batches and store the excess in an airtight container for several months. This gluten free seasoning is excellent on meats, in homemade salad dressings, or blended with Greek yogurt for a healthy vegetable dip.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 16-18 minutes
Serves: 4

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

Directions:

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.

Enjoy!!!

I used my USA baking sheets for this recipe and it turned out fantastic! These baking sheets are some of the best that I have tried and recommend that you try them out for yourself. They are made of Aluminized steel which yields high performance in your baking and durably in these pans. These baking sheets also have a corrugated nonstick surface so they will not warp at high temperatures and allows for increased air flow for perfect baking every time, best part is they are produced right here in the USA!!

To cook the pork chops I used the All-Clad Skillet. I have their whole line of products and over the years I have purchased nearly every size skillet and saucepan. These are pans that will last a long time and they have yet to fail me. Click on the link or picture and snag this skillet for your kitchen you will not be disappointed!
