1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Arrange thick-cut smoked pork chops (1.5-inch thick bone-in pork chops rubbed with smoked paprika and brown sugar on heavy baking sheet) on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer. Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.

2
Cook & Flip

Cook for 22–26 mins. Flip at the 13-minute mark for even browning.

Check & Rest

Caramelized brown edges; internal probe inserted deep into thickest meat away from bone hits 145°F Confirm internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
