Lamb chops on a plate

If you’ve been looking for the right technique to cook lamb chops, this is it, and they’re excellent. They’re elegant enough for a special occasion yet simple enough for a weeknight dinner. They cook in approximately 10 minutes and the air fryer locks in all the flavor with a nice crust.

I love a quick and easy healthy weeknight dinner like this. You can serve this with any side, but I recommend fingerling potatoes, green beans, or Brussels sprouts – all of which can be made in the air fryer at the same time. Lamb chops are so versatile!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients for air fryer lamb chops
  • Lamb Chops – This dish can be made with either loin or rib chops. I prefer ones that are about 1″ thick and don’t have the long rib bone attached. It makes it easier to put them in the air fryer basket.
  • Olive Oil cooking spray – Spraying on a little olive oil will keep the lamb from getting dry and will give it a nice golden finish.
  • Seasonings – Rosemary, Thyme, Granulated Garlic, Salt & Pepper

Additional Helpful Tips

  • You can substitute your favorite rub for the seasonings listed in the recipe if you want to.
  • Make sure to salt the lamb thoroughly for the best taste.
  • Allow the lamb to come to room temperature before seasoning and cooking it.
  • Increase the cooking time to 18-25 minutes if using a whole rack of lamb.
  • Pre-heat the air fryer to get a good sear on the lamb chops.
