Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.

- Brush both sides of pork chops with olive oil.
- Press pork chops into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides.

Notes
For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
Swap with bone-in chops if preferred—just add 5–7 more minutes baking time.
To make keto-friendly, use almond flour or crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs.
