Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to form a herb marinade.
2. Step 2: Pat dry 8 lamb chops and brush the herb marinade generously on both sides of each chop, pressing lightly to adhere the mixture.
3. Step 3: Place lamb chops on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the lamb is browned and cooked to medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F).
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
