Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 lamb chops (about 1.5 lbs) to the marinade, coating them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to absorb flavors.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the marinated lamb chops on a baking sheet lined with foil, spacing them evenly.
  4. Step 4: Roast the chops in the oven for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare and the edges are slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
