Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons harissa paste and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 8 lamb chops and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, toss 2 medium sliced zucchini, 1 large diced red bell pepper, 1 large red onion cut into wedges, and 3 minced garlic cloves with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the marinated lamb chops and vegetables on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the lamb and stirring the vegetables halfway through, until lamb reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint over the lamb and vegetables, and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing.
