To season pork chops before cooking, I usually sprinkle them with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other herbs or spices I have on hand, like paprika or thyme. Then, I let them sit at room temperature for about 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate. If I have more time, I might marinate them in a combination of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and herbs for a few hours in the fridge.
