Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp chopped rosemary, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over 8 lamb chops.
  2. Step 2: Place the lamb chops on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium. Remove and rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint leaves, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 cup grated cucumber (squeeze out excess moisture). Stir until combined and season lightly with salt if needed.
  4. Step 4: Serve the roasted lamb chops warm with a generous dollop of herb yogurt sauce on the side, garnished with extra mint if desired.
