This Pork Chop Seasoning is a smoky, savory homemade spice blend for baked, grilled, skillet, cast iron, and air fryer pork chops. Mix it once and use 1.5 to 2 tablespoons per pound whenever you want flavorful pork chops without a marinade.

Notes
How much to use: Use 1.5 to 2 tablespoons per pound of plain pork chops. Use 1 tablespoon per pound if the recipe includes Parmesan, pan sauce, garlic butter, BBQ sauce, or another salty/flavorful finish. You can add more after cooking, but you can’t take it out.
Pat dry first: This helps the seasoning stick and helps the pork brown instead of steam.
Rest before cooking: Let seasoned pork chops sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking so the spices cling to the meat.
Storage: Keep in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Store away from steam and heat to prevent clumping.
