Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano leaves, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 lamb chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the marinated lamb chops on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
  4. Step 4: Roast the lamb chops in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
