Description

Delicious and juicy Air Fryer Lamb Chops seasoned with a flavorful rub and cooked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 loin lamb chops
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 tsp. ground rosemary
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the lamb chops.
  2. Mix together ground rosemary, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the rub.
  3. Rub the lamb on both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle each side with the rub mixture and rub it into the meat.
  4. Let the lamb come to room temperature while preheating the Air Fryer to 400F/204C.
  5. Cook lamb chops for 5 minutes on the first side, then turn them over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the second side, adjusting based on desired doneness.
  6. Let lamb chops rest for 3 minutes after removing from the Air Fryer.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • The package of loin lamb chops we got had 10 lamb chops but we could only fit eight in the Air Fryer at one time.
  • I trimmed the bigger pieces of fat on the side of the lamb chops; you may not need to trim if you like some fat on your lamb.
  • I’m a fan of using Air Fryer Parchment Paper to keep the Air Fryer basket and tray more clean, but that’s optional.
  • The American Lamb Board considers a temperature of 145F/62C to be medium-rare for the one inch thick loin lamb chops we used.
  • If you prefer your lamb more done than that, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
