Oven-Roasted Lamb Chops image

Never having lamb before I didn't "think" I liked lamb. When your MIL is 100% Greek you know you will have to fix it for her son! I asked her to show me one night and wrote it down. These oven lamb chops are so easy and tender, perfect for when you don't have a crowd to feed!

Provided by Lucky Noodles

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (4 ounce) lamb chops
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tablespoon crushed fresh rosemary leaves
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup mint jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.
  • Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side,
