Description
Deliciously marinated lamb chops that are easy to prepare and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs fresh lamb chops (rib, loin or shoulder)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp minced rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- First, make the marinade by mixing all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Then, add the lamb chops and marinade to a gallon plastic zipper bag. Ensure the marinade is coating the individual lamb chops and place the bag on a dinner plate so they lay flat. Marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to two hours. Flip the bag over midway through marinating.
- Next, when the chops are done marinating, remove them from the plastic bag and place chops in a baking dish. You may add the remaining marinade to the dish or just discard it. Allow them to come closer to room temperature before baking.
- Then, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 20–30 minutes, depending on thickness and how well done you like them. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temp of 135°F (57°C). Well done may take closer to 30 minutes especially if they’re a thicker cut.
- Then, after you remove the lamb chops from the oven, let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
Notes
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the chops and your preferred doneness.
