Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub 4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick) with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  2. Step 2: While pork roasts, heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add ribbons from 3 medium zucchinis to the skillet and toss with garlic butter for 3-4 minutes until zucchini softens but still slightly firm.
  4. Step 4: Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until zucchini is evenly coated and cheese melts slightly.
  5. Step 5: Serve pork chops hot with a generous portion of garlic-Parmesan zucchini ribbons.
