No need to buy pre-packaged ranch dressing or seasoning when it is so easy to make your own. This seasoning is excellent on meats, in homemade salad dressings, or blended with Greek yogurt for a healthy vegetable dip.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
To make the ranch seasoning, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
Rub pork chops with 1-2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning (divided evenly among all 4 chops), until coated. (Store remaining ranch seasoning in an airtight container for later use).
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding seasoned pork chops to skillet. Sear pork chops on each side until browned, approximately 2 minutes per side.
Once browned, transfer pork chops to the lined baking sheet, leaving room between each pork chop so they are not over-crowded. Place baking sheet in the pre-heated oven and roast for 8 minutes before turning each chop. Continue roasting another 8-10 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the chop reads 145°F (medium-rare) to 160°F (medium).
Remove chops from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
