Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 tongs
- 1 meat thermometer optional
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops About 1 inch thick.
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic Minced.
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary Chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary).
- 1 piece lemon Juiced.
- to taste salt

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to create a marinade.
- Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring each chop is well coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Once preheated, arrange the lamb chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.

- After cooking, remove the lamb chops from the air fryer and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the lamb chops with your choice of sides and enjoy!
