Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper to make a marinade.
- Step 2: Rub the marinade evenly over 8 lamb chops, coating both sides thoroughly. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Step 3: Place lamb chops on a roasting rack in a baking pan and roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes for medium-rare, turning once halfway through cooking to brown evenly.
- Step 4: Remove from oven and drizzle 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the chops. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
