Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 8 lamb chops and brush each with 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter, then press the herb mixture evenly onto both sides of the chops.
  3. Step 3: Place the lamb chops on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
