  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 18 minute

Ingredients

– 4 lamb chops, bone-in
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Sheet-Pan Lemon Herb Lamb Chops is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Lamb: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the lamb chops and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the lamb marinates, prepare the cherry tomatoes and asparagus. Place them on a large sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

4. Add the Lamb: Remove the lamb from the marinade and place the chops on the sheet pan, nestled among the vegetables.

5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the lamb reaches your desired doneness.

6. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F (57°C) and for medium, 145°F (63°C).

7. Rest the Meat: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

8. Serve with Lemon Wedges: Garnish with fresh lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
