Air fryer lamb chops

Lamb chops

A rosemary-garlic crust and a blushing pink middle, in twelve minutes flat.

Lamb chops are fatty enough to baste themselves, which suits an air fryer. The main risk is going past medium, at which point they tighten up and go grey.

  • 4 lamb chops
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Marinate. Rub the chops with the oil, garlic and rosemary and leave 15 minutes if you have time.
  2. Season. Salt heavily just before cooking.
  3. Air fry. Cook at 400°F for 12 minutes, turning once, for medium.
  4. Rest. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Test-kitchen tip

Stand the chops fat-side down for the first 2 minutes to render the fat cap and crisp it.
