Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper until combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 8 lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, sealing the bag and massaging the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to infuse flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the marinated lamb chops in a single layer.
  4. Step 4: Roast the lamb chops for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (medium-rare) or longer for preferred doneness.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute, then serve garnished with extra oregano if desired.
