Ingredients:

– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup honey

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

3. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the pork chops, ensuring they’re well coated and seasoned.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice, golden crust.

6. Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet and brush each chop with the honey-Dijon glaze, making sure to coat them evenly.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for about 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
8. Once cooked through, remove the devilish chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
