Prep & Preheat
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels — this is critical for a good sear. Mix together salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, then season both sides of each pork chop generously with the spice mixture. Let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2. Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with half the olive oil, the remaining salt and pepper, and spread them cut-side down in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until deeply caramelized and crispy on the cut sides.
400 g Brussels sprouts, halved,
1.5 tbsp Olive oil,
0.8 tsp Kosher salt,
0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
Sear the Pork Chops
3. Heat an oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat until smoking. Add the remaining olive oil. Place the pork chops in the pan and sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until a deep golden-brown crust forms. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, thyme sprigs, and rosemary to the pan. Once the butter foams, tilt the pan and continuously baste the pork chops with the herb-infused butter for 1–2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from oven and rest the chops for 5 minutes before serving.
5. Plate each pork chop alongside a generous portion of roasted Brussels sprouts. Spoon any remaining butter pan juices over the chops and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over everything.
