Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim excess fat from the pork chops and pat them dry.

Arrange the chops in a large baking dish. Season with salt and rub with minced garlic.
- 3
In a bowl, whisk together the mustard, paprika, spices, and white wine until combined.
- 4
Pour the marinade over the chops, turning them to coat evenly on both sides.
- 5
Drizzle with olive oil and orange juice. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- 7
Rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes or steamed green beans.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra tender chops, marinate them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before roasting. Pineapple juice is a great alternative to orange juice — it naturally tenderizes the meat.
