Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 pieces Lamb Chops about 1-inch thick
  • 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Rosemary, fresh and chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to allow it to reach the ideal temperature for roasting.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  3. Marinate the Lamb Chops: Place the lamb chops in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
  4. Arrange on a Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Place the marinated lamb chops on the tray, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
  5. Roast the Lamb Chops: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking!
  6. Rest Before Serving: Once they’re done, let the lamb chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping them juicy and flavorful.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the chops and garnish with extra rosemary if desired. Enjoy alongside your favorite sides!

Notes

Choose quality meat for the best flavor and texture. Use a meat thermometer to gauge doneness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
