\"Lamb<\/p>\n

These Air Fryer Lamb Chops <\/strong>are something think about making when those packages of small lamb chops show up at Costco. Every spring I can’t resist buying them, even though they’re a bit of a budget splurge.<\/p>\n

I usually cook lamb chops on the grill<\/a>, but one time I remembered much I love Air Fryer Pork Chops<\/a>. And the lamb chops from Costco are nice and thick, so I tried cooking them in the Air Fryer. Kara<\/a> was up for it, although she told me she wasn’t a big fan of lamb.<\/p>\n

But when they were done, we both loved how the lamb chops turned out! If you enjoy lamb or are willing to try something new, I recommend cooking some lamb chops in the Air Fryer for a special meal. And this would be a perfect main dish if you’re having a small group for Easter, so I’m reminding you about it as my  Friday Favorites<\/a> pick this week! I hope you try it.<\/p>\n

  • loin lamb chops<\/li>\n
  • Olive Oil<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Ground Rosemary<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Garlic Powder<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Dried Oregano<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • salt<\/li>\n
  • black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What added flavor to Air Fryer Lamb Chops?<\/h2>\n

    We rubbed the lamb chops with olive oil and then sprinkled on a rub we made by combining ground rosemary, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper and rubbed it into the meat.<\/p>\n

    How can you tell when Lamb Chops are done?<\/h2>\n

    The best way to tell when the lamb chops are done is to use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer<\/a> (affiliate link). The American Lamb Board<\/a> considers a temperature of 145F\/62C to be medium-rare for the one inch thick loin lamb chops we used. For us that took about 8 minutes in the Air Fryer, with about 3-4 minutes resting time when we took them out.<\/p>\n

    Which Air Fryer did we Use?<\/h2>\n

    I became a big Air Fryer fan after I discovered the Cuisinart Convection Air Fryer Toaster Oven<\/a> (affiliate link) which is what I used for this recipe. This air fryer has a larger basket, which lets me fit eight lamb chops, and I find this model very easy to use. I also like the convenience of an air fryer that stays out on the counter.<\/p>\n

    How low in carbs are the Air Fryer Lamb Chops?<\/h2>\n

    For everyone who’s watching carbs, these delicious lamb chops have zero carbs, with 15 grams of protein!<\/p>\n

    How to Make Air Fryer Lamb Chops:<\/h2>\n

    (This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Here’s the package of loin lamb chops we bought at Costco. <\/li>\n
    2. Some people don’t mind fat on their lamb, but I trimmed the bigger pieces of fat on the side.<\/li>\n
    3. Mix together the spices to make the rub.<\/li>\n
    4. We rubbed lamb on both sides with olive oil, then sprinkled with the rub mixture and rubbed it into the meat.<\/li>\n
    5. I love using Air Fryer Parchment Paper<\/a> (affiliate link) to keep the Air Fryer basket clean; that’s up to you.<\/li>\n
    6. Let lamb come to room temperature while you preheat Air Fryer to 400F\/204C. <\/li>\n
    7. We cooked lamb five minutes and then turned it over.<\/li>\n
    8. Cook about 3-4 minutes on the second side, depending on how done you prefer your lamb. (The American Lamb Board<\/a> considers a temperature of 145F\/62C to be medium-rare for the one inch thick loin lamb chops we used. If you prefer your lamb more done than that, adjust the cooking time.)<\/li>\n
    9. Let the cooked lamb rest about 3 minutes.<\/li>\n
    10. Serve Air Fryer Lamb Chops hot and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Make it a Low-Carb Meal:<\/h2>\n

      I think Lamb Chops cooked in the air fryer would taste great with any of these side dishes:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Twice-Baked Cauliflower<\/a><\/li>\n
      • Roasted Summer Squash<\/a><\/li>\n
      • Steamed Artichokes (with Artichoke Dipping Sauce<\/a><\/li>\n
      • Stir-Fried Spinach<\/a><\/li>\n
      • Garlicky Green Beans<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
