Take note
Make sure to handle raw meat safely and wash your hands thoroughly after handling. Also, be cautious when working with the hot oven.

1

Marinate the Lamb Chops

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the lamb chops to the bowl and rub the marinade all over them. Let the chops marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.

2

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help to lock in the juices and give the lamb chops a delicious crust.

3

Sear the Lamb Chops

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan and sear the lamb chops for 2 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned.

4

Roast in the Oven

Transfer the skillet with the seared lamb chops into the preheated oven. Roast for about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare chops, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness. Remember that the lamb will continue to cook slightly after it's taken out of the oven, so take that into account.

5

Rest and Serve

Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy meat. Serve the herb-roasted lamb chops with your favorite side dishes, like roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables.
