How to Air Fry Lamb Chops and Make-Ahead

  • You can make the marinade ahead of time and refrigerate.
  • Prep the lamb chops by cutting them or buying them pre-cut.
  • When you’re ready to air fry, just add the lamb chops to the marinade and marinate for a few minutes.
  • Pre-heat the air fryer so the lamb chops can get a great sear.
  • Follow the recipe details below in the recipe box and you can print the recipe too!

There’s so many other marinade options or you can use your favorite spice mix. If you’re using any type of spice mix, just make sure to spray the outside of the chops after you add the spices. That way the spices are hydrated and they won’t burn as much during air frying. Add some side dishes to this meal like air fryer asparagus or other air fried vegetables. Within minutes you can have a complete air fryer meal!

Fragrant rosemary and garlic add so much flavor to these juicy lamb chops. Using air fryers that are at least 5 qt or larger will allow you to cook all the chops in one layer for the full batch. If you only have a small air fryer, you can cook these chops in 2-3 batches.
