Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat 4 bone-in lamb chops (about 1 inch thick) dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped), 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped), 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to form a paste.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb paste evenly over both sides of the lamb chops. Place chops on a baking sheet and top each with 1/2 lemon (sliced).
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-15 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 145°F), then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
