Ingredients

6 lamb chops
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

Instructions

Pat the chops dry with paper towels.
6 lamb chops
Brush both sides of the chops with olive oil.
3 tablespoons olive oil
Mix salt and spices. Sprinkle both sides of the chops with spices.
1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
If desired, you can leave the chops, covered with cling film, for half an hour or an hour to marinate in the fridge. Once you are ready to cook, let them sit out at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
Transfer the lamb chops to the air fryer basket, no need to spray the basket—air fry for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, the chops are already well fried on the top, however, they are no cooked all the way through.
Flip the chops to the other side and fry for another 10 minutes or until your desired temperature. If the chops are very thick, it may take longer.
Check readiness with an electronic thermometer - the temperature inside should be pulled at 130°F for medium-rare. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes and then serve.

Notes

Before cooking, let the lamb chops sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Use paper towels to pat the chops dry before seasoning. This helps the seasoning stick better.
For those who aren’t a fan of the gamey flavor of the lamb, marinating in an easy marinade with some red wine vinegar can help reduce it.
For best results, don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed.
Always check the meat’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
If you have leftover lamb chops, they make a great addition to salads or sandwiches the next day.
