Cooking Instructions:

Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to burn down until they're covered with white ash, creating an even heat.

While the grill is heating, take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step helps them cook evenly.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops, ensuring they're evenly coated.

Once the grill is ready, place the pork chops on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a nice sear to develop.

Flip the pork chops and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices and keeps the meat tender.

For an extra burst of flavor, consider marinating your pork chops in the olive oil and spice mixture for a few hours or overnight before grilling. Additionally, you can add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the marinade for a tangy twist.

Always remember that the key to juicy pork chops isn't to overcook them, so keep a close eye on the temperature. Enjoy your grilled pork chops with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
