Secure the lamb chops in the air fryer for later preparation.

I love lamb, so I always start thinking about making it Grilled pieces of meat Once packages of mini lamb chops started showing up at Costco. This year I bought some and intended to cook them on the grill.

But then I started thinking about how much I love him Air fryer pork chopsAnd the lamb chops I had were nice and thick, so I decided to try making them Air fryer lamb chops. Kara She was willing to try it, even though she told me she wasn’t a huge fan of lamb.

But she agreed to give them a try, and when they were done, we both loved how the lamb chops turned out in the air fryer! If you enjoy lamb or are willing to try something new, I can highly recommend cooking some lamb chops in an air fryer for a special meal. And for all of you watching carbs, these delicious lamb chops have zero carbs!

What flavor is added to the air fryer lamb chops?

Rub the lamb chops with olive oil, sprinkle on a rub made of ground rosemary, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, and rub into the meat.

How do you know when lamb chops are done?

The best way to tell when your lamb chops are done is to use a Instant read meat thermometer (referral link). the American Pregnancy Council The 145F/62C is considered medium rare for the 1-inch thick lamb chops we used. For us, that took about 8 minutes in the Air Fryer, with about 3-4 minutes to rest when we pulled it out.

Which air fryer did we use?

I became a huge Air Fryer fan after I found out Air Fryer Toaster Oven, Cuisinart (referral link) which is what I used for this recipe. This air fryer has a larger basket, allowing me to fit in eight lamb chops, and I find this model very handy. I also love the convenience of an air fryer that stays on the counter.

How to make Air Fryer Lamb Chops:

Here’s a package of lamb chops we bought for $20 at Costco.
Some people don’t mind the fat in the lamb, but I cut the big chunks of fat on the side.
Mix the spices together to make the rub.
Rub the lamb on both sides with olive oil, then drizzle with the rub mixture and rub it into the meat.
I like to use Air fryer parchment paper (affiliate link) to keep your air fryer basket clean; That’s entirely up to you.
Let the lamb come to room temperature while you preheat the air fryer to 400°F/204°C.
We cooked the lamb for about five minutes and then turned it over.
Cook about 3-4 minutes on the second side, depending on how you like your lamb done. (the American Pregnancy Council The 145F/62C is considered medium rare for the 1-inch thick lamb chops we used. If you prefer the lamb more tender, adjust the cooking time.)
Let the cooked meat rest for 3 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy!

ingredients

8 pieces of sirloin (see notes)
2 tons of olive oil
1 tsp. ground rosemary (see notes)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

directions

The package of lamb chops we got had 10 lamb chops but we could only fit eight in the air fryer at one time.
I trimmed off the large chunks of fat on the side of the lamb chops. (You may not need to trim if you like some fat on your lamb.)
Mix ground rosemary, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make a rub.
Rub the meat on both sides with the olive oil, then drizzle each side with the rubbing mixture and rub it into the meat
I love to use Air fryer parchment paper (affiliate link) to keep your Air Fryer basket and tray cleaner but this is completely optional.
Let the lamb come to room temperature for a few minutes while you preheat the air fryer to 400°F/204°C. Preheat without the basket (or without the lamb in the basket if you need the basket to preheat your air fryer).
We cooked the lamb chops for about five minutes on the first side, then flipped them over with tongs.
Cook the lamb chops about 3-4 minutes on the second side, depending on how you like your lamb chops. (the American Pregnancy Council The 145F/62C is considered medium rare for the 1-inch thick lamb chops we used. If you prefer the lamb to be more tender, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Let the lamb chops rest for 3 minutes when you remove them from the air fryer.
Serve hot and enjoy!

notes

The lamb chops we had were about an inch thick at 3-4 ounces each.

I don’t like to bite into a stalk of dried rosemary so I like to use ground rosemary in recipes like this one. You can grind dried rosemary in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder if you prefer. (I’d grind dried oregano with rosemary if you were doing that.)

Low Carb Diet / Low Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Air-Fryer Lamb Chops are a great dish for any low-carb or keto diet. Lamb is high in fat in the original South Beach diet, but I would probably eat it if the lamb was trimmed. .
