Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in lamb chops (1-inch thick)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the lamb chops and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Place the seasoned lamb chops on one side of the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast properly.
- Roast the lamb chops in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness (135°F/57°C for medium-rare).
- After about 10 minutes of roasting, add frozen peas to the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Once cooked through, remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh mint over both the lamb chops and peas before serving.
