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!

Wow, I never thought these would be that easy. They were great. Added some garlic powder and onion powder. Fantastic!
The rosemary gave it such a great flavor, totally love the aroma and taste of these lamb chops. We cooked ours in the Instant Pot oven on two racks and rotated them.
Absolutely wonderful recipe with flavorful juicy tender chops. Very easy to follow, used the big mama pack from Costco, added fresh rosemary from my garden and amped the temperature up to 400degrees for the last 3 minutes.
Added 5 minutes to the cooking time due to thickness of the lamb chops.
Fan-freaking tastic!
Thanks!
Thank you so much Bianca for the details on how you cooked the lamb chops! We’re so happy you enjoyed them.
This now officially my new favorite way to do lamb. For anyone that gets thicker pieces of lamb, my wife had gotten 2 inch thick (?) Chops. I ended up running the IP Vortex for another 5 minutes and it’s perfect.
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for sharing Randy and it’s helpful to know you have the 2 inch thick chops. It definitely takes a little longer especially when you have the IP Vortex. So glad you’re enjoying air fried lamb chops!
WoW. This was so quick and easy to cook in the Air Fryer. My 3 year old had 3 lamb chops lol she was so quiet during dinner–which only meant she loves the food. I’m so glad I found and tried your recipe! Its perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Its super juicy and flavorful!
Thank you!
That’s awesome Ell! So glad your 3 year old loves eating air fryer lamb chops.
Well done recipe. Our air fryer is bigger so we added 3 extra minutes for more crust on the chops. Fantastic.
These were the best lamp chops I’ve ever had. Such great flavors from the rosemary. We added a sprinkle of extra garlic powder and hubby loved it!
I made this the other day and it was delicious! I’m excited to make it again.
I was completely mind blown with this recipe. Your sauce with the lamb chops really just did it for me.
Omg the flavors you used for this was really good. I’m in love with this recipe. I’m so glad to find that it was super easy to cook in the air fryer.
