TIPS FOR OVEN BAKED LEMON PORK CHOPS

1. If the chops starts to golden brown too much, reduce the oven temperature or cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually roast the chops at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to roast, it has the advantage of enhancing the flavors much more and the meat gets more tender.

3. If you have leftovers or want to save the recipe for another time, store the chops in the fridge in an airtight container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out the meat, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
