Loin lamb chops marinate briefly in olive oil, garlic, and fresh rosemary before a hot air fryer gives them a browned crust while keeping the center tender and pink. The whole dish comes together in under an hour, making it suited for a weeknight dinner that still feels special enough for guests.

Ingredients

  • 8 lamb loin chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, for garnish

Method

  1. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish or zip-top bag.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

  3. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, turning to coat each piece evenly.

  4. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.

  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.

  6. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, shaking off excess, and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed.

  7. Air-fry at 400°F for 6 minutes, then flip the chops and continue cooking for 4 to 6 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 135°F for medium-rare.

  8. Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

  9. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve with lemon wedges.
