4. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500F.
5. Lightly oil a roasting rack set over a shallow roasting pan, or cover a shallow-rimmed cookie sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray.

7. Roast them in the upper third of the oven for 5 minutes; turn the chops over and continue roasting for 3 to 5 more minutes or until done to your liking.
