    I seriously don't know how we lived before getting our air fryer. We no longer wait to preheat the oven, our meals cook faster, and whatever you cook in there just turns out so perfect. I mean, just look at this lamb. Point proven.

    Health Benefits of Lamb Meat

    This lamb doesn't just look and taste good, it is also packed with health benefits which is great for immunity, especially since we all could work on our immune system right now. It is a rich source of healthy amino acids (high-quality protein), and vitamins and minerals including zinc and iron. Zinc is needed for immune function and may also have an effect against viruses.

    Dijon Garlic Marinade

    The secret to the aromatic flavour in these lamb chops lies in the marinade. It contains a combination of Asian, Middle Eastern and Western flavours. It gets its Asian influence from the cumin spice, garlic, and even a hint of soy sauce. And with the addition of Dijon mustard, a western American staple ingredient, you have yourself the ultimate worldly dish, where east meets west.

    How to Cook Lamb Chops on the Grill

    You can also cook these lamb chops on the grill. To grill, heat your grill to medium-high heat and sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side. Lower the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 150 F. For well done, cook for a couple more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 F.

    Description

    Juicy, tender, and delicious 18-minute air fryer lamb chops is marinated in a dijon garlic sauce and will change the way you cook lamb forever!


    Ingredients

    • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 teaspoon Italiano spice blend (optional)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 8 pieces of lamb chops

    Instructions

    1. Make the marinade by combining Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, Italiano spice blend (optional), and salt, in a medium bowl and mix well.
    2. Place lamb chops into a Ziploc bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the lamb chops to fully coat. Place into the fridge and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
    3. Place 3 pieces of marinated lamb chops onto a grill rack on top of the air frying basket, and space them out evenly. Cook at 350 F for 17 minutes, flipping the lamb chops once, halfway through, to ensure even cooking.
    4. Once done, leave the lamb chops inside the hot air fryer for another 5 minutes. This keeps the lamb chops warm and ensures that it is thoroughly cooked yet still tender.
    5. Season with additional salt and cumin, to taste.

    Notes

    For well done lamb chops, just add an additional 3 minutes to the cooking time.

    How to grill lamb chops: Heat the grill to medium-high heat and sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side. Lower the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 150 F. For well done, cook for a couple more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 F.

      The Dijon garlic combo sounds delicious! I don't have an air fryer yet but I bet this lamb marinade would be great for grilled lamb too. Looks like yours came out nice and moist.

        Thank you David! Yes, you are absolutely right! You can make this recipe on the grill or in the oven too. You just have to adjust the cooking method and time.
