Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 8 British lamb chops in a shallow dish and coat them evenly with the rosemary-garlic marinade. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the lamb chops on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the lamb reaches medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F) or your desired doneness.
  4. Step 4: Remove from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
