Mix the Parmesan cheese, Italian bread crumbs, black pepper, and garlic powder together on a flat plate or shallow dish.
Rub each pork chop generously with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Press the pork chops firmly into the cheese mixture, covering them thoroughly on all sides.
Prepare a baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil and lightly spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the coated pork chops on the prepared pan in a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40-45 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Notes
For added crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
