Preheat the oven to 200C/400F for a conventional oven or 180C/365F for a fan oven
Pat the pork chops dry with a kitchen towel and place on a baking tray. Season the pork with salt and peppers and set aside
To a bowl, add extra virgin olive oil, fennel seeds, oregano, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar and mix together to combine to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade on the sides of the pork. Drizzle with about a tablespoon of olive oil and bake in the oven uncovered for 10 minutes. Bring the pork chops out of the oven, flip sides and baste with the pan juice. Return the pan into the oven and continue to bake for another 7 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 165F.
Transfer the pork chops to a plate, cover with an aluminium tin foil and rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
