- 8 small lamb chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tbsp fresh or dried rosemary chopped
- 4 garlic cloves grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
- In a large bowl, add olive oil, rosemary and garlic; stir. Add lamb chops and using your hands or tongs toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to overnight.
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Remove lamb chops from the bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.

Here are the recommended cook times:- for rare - 11 minutes or until internal T 120°F- for medium rare - 12 minutes or until internal T 125°F (pictured)- for medium - 13 minutes or until internal T 130°F- for well done - 14 minutes or until internal T 145°F and higher.

Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: In air fryer at 300 degrees F for 3-4 minutes or until warm.
- My air fryer size: I use a large 5.8 quart Cosori air fryer. If yours is smaller, fit as many ingredients as you can, as long as they are in a single layer. Overcrowding can lead to a lack of delicious crust.
- Accurate temperature: If you haven't invested in a digital kitchen thermometer yet, I highly recommend it. It's the best way to tell whether your meat is cooked to your liking. That's especially important when you're serving other people!
- Achieve the sear: Not every air fryer recipe requires a preheat. This one does, because we want a nice crust from a gorgeous sear.
- Resting time: A 5 minute rest does wonders!
