Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
- Step 2: Place 8 lamb rib chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange the marinated lamb chops on the sheet in a single layer.
- Step 4: Roast lamb chops in the oven for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches about 135°F for medium-rare and the exterior is browned and fragrant.
- Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
