Air Fryer Lamb Chops

Ingredients (serves 2–3)

• 4 Palmer Farms lamb chops (about 1 lb total)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp dried rosemary (or fresh, finely chopped)

• ½ tsp dried thyme

• Optional garnish: fresh parsley or lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Prep the chops
   Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel. Brush lightly with olive oil on both sides.

2. Season generously
   In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture evenly over the chops.

3. Preheat the air fryer
   Set your air fryer to 400°F and let it heat for 3–5 minutes.

4. Cook the lamb
   Place lamb chops in the basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).

   • Medium-rare: Air fry for 7–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.

   • Medium: 9–10 minutes total.

5. Rest before serving
   Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the juices locked in.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh arugula salad.

• Drizzle with a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

• These also make a fantastic appetizer when sliced and served with a yogurt-mint dipping sauce.
