Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb loin chops
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh tarragon
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper plus more for seasoning
Instructions
- Place lamb chops in a baking dish, season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Remove rosemary and tarragon leaves from the stems and mince with the garlic clove.
- Add the herb/garlic mixture along with the salt and pepper to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Pour the marinade over top of the lamb chops, turning them with tongs to coat. Let sit for 20-30 minutes to marinate.
- Preheat air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes. Once hot, place the marinated lamb chops on the trays or in the basket (depending on your air fryer model) and air fry for 6-8 minutes (*see note), flipping the chops half way through.
Notes
*Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your lamb loin chops. Thicker chops (3/4" - 1") will take about 8 minutes total for medium rare doneness. Thinner chops will require less cooking time. It's best to use an instant read meat thermometer to attain the desired doneness.
