Ingredients
- 4 Australian lamb chops

Instructions
- First, add all ingredients except fresh thyme to large Ziplock bag. Shake bag until lamb chops are completely coated in olive oil and seasonings.
- At this point, either preheat air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to immediately air fry OR place Ziplock bag in fridge for up to 24 hours to marinate.
- Once air fryer has preheated, arrange lamb chops in air fryer basket or on air fryer pan.
- Air fry for 7 to 10 minutes. After 7 minutes, use meat thermometer to check internal temperature of meat and add more air frying time if needed.
- Finally, once meat has reached desired temperature, remove from air fryer.
- Allow meat to rest for 5 minutes before serving and slicing into.
- Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
- I used Australian lamb loin chops with bone in. They were about 1 inch thick.
- Either air fry immediately after coating lamb chops in oil and herbs or marinate for up to 24 hours.
- Depending on thickness of lamb chops and air fryer brand, cooking time may need to be added.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine how cooked the lamb is.
- Lamb chops are rare at 120°F, they are medium rare at 125°F, medium at 130°F, and well done at 145°F or higher.
- Allow lamb to rest after air frying to lock in the flavors and juices.
- As pictured, they are served over Whole30 Mashed Potatoes and garnished with fresh thyme.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
