Air Fryer Lamb Chops
Quick, easy, and incredibly flavorful air fryer lamb chops that cook in under 30 minutes. Tender, juicy, and healthy with minimal oil use.
Equipment
- Air Fryer,
- Meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 4-6 pieces Lamb Chops about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels to help them brown better in the air fryer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place lamb chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over lamb chops, coating evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the marinated lamb chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry the lamb chops for 8-12 minutes depending on thickness and desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Adjust seasoning or add spices for variations like spicy lamb or herb-crusted versions.
