Step 1: Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the oil, lemon juice, salt, paprika, and garlic powder to make the marinade.
Step 3: Coat the lamb chops evenly with the marinade and place them in a dish to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 4: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 5: Place the lamb chops in the air fryer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for a medium doneness. For well-done lamb chops, cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Brush some melted butter or any flavored butter before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Let the lamb chops marinate for at least 30 minutes to soak up all the flavors. You can even marinate them the day before for an even deeper flavor.
- When reheating in the air fryer, keep in mind that the lamb chops will cook a bit more, so this is important if they were originally cooked to medium.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these lamb chops with roasted vegetables or you can also try them with mashed potatoes for a filling meal.
A side of creamy yogurt or tzatziki makes a perfect cool and tangy dip to complement the flavors.
