Air Fryer Lamb Chops (Rosemary Garlic)
Description
Air Fryer Lamb Chops seasoned with fresh rosemary and garlic cook up juicy inside and crispy outside in about 15 minutes. An easy, foolproof recipe that turns 8 simple ingredients into a restaurant-quality dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lamb chops, loin or rib, about 1–1½ inches thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- In a large zip-top bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, oregano, coriander, salt, and garlic. Seal and shake to blend.
- Add the lamb chops to the bag, press out the air, and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (4–8 hours for deeper flavor).
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3–5 minutes. Line the basket with a parchment insert if desired.
- Arrange the chops in a single layer with at least 2 inches between each. Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Rest the chops 3–5 minutes before serving. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Pull the chops early and let them rest — carryover heat keeps cooking them. Target temps: 125°F rare, 135°F medium-rare, 145°F medium, 160°F well-done.
- Thick-cut chops (1–1½ inches) stay juiciest; thin chops overcook fast.
- Don't crowd the basket, or you'll lose the crispy crust.
