Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt , or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh mint
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
- 3 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
- 4 (1/2-inch-thick) lamb loin chops
Steps
- Combine olive oil, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, mint, rosemary, and parsley in a large resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze contents inside the bag to mix.
- Add lamb chops, squeeze out as much air as possible, reseal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours. Turn the bag after each hour, to marinate both sides of the chops.
- When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), or according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Add lamb chops to the air fryer in a single layer and air fry for 3 1/2 minutes.
- Turn chops and continue to air fry an additional 3 minutes. Test for doneness with an instant read thermometer. 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) is rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) is medium, and 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) is medium well. Add time in 1-minute increments to achieve desired doneness.
- Tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
