Easy Baked Lamb Loin Chops
Made with simple pantry spices, these Baked Lamb Loin Chops are perfect for a weeknight dinner. The outside is beautifully caramelized, and the inside is so juicy and tender.
Ingredients
- 8 lamb loin chops
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for greasing the skillet)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh minced garlic)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Pat the chops dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl or plate, coat the chops with the oil and seasonings.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet (I use cast-iron) over medium-high heat. When hot, lightly coat with oil.
- Sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-14 minutes until your desired doneness is reached: 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, 10-12 for medium, and 12-14 for well done.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
