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. Ideally, you want to marinate the chops for at least an hour.
- Pre-heat the air fryer so the lamb chops can get a great sear.
- Monitor the lamb chops frequently if you like them rare or medium rare. These chops cook very very quickly so you don’t want to walk away from the chops and have them in the air fryer heat for too long. Even if the air fryer is turned off and you don’t return soon, the residual heat will easily overcook the lamb chops.

Different Marinade Ideas for Lamb Chops
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!
