Rosemary-roasted lamb chops are an easy, impressive weeknight dinner that takes just 10 minutes to prep!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lbs (1.4kg) lamb chops double cut
- ½ cup (118ml) orange juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp rosemary oregano or thyme, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley for serving
- Lemon wedegs for serving
Instructions
- Make the marinade. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup orange juice, 3 cloves minced garlic, 2 Tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp Dijon, 1 tsp Kosher salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
- Assemble. Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel, then place in a large roasting dish in a flat, single layer. Pour the marinade on top, cover tightly with foil, then roast for 35 minutes.
- Roast the lamb chops. Remove the foil, then return the dish to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes, until the lamb chops are golden brown and crisp up a bit. Serve immediately with chopped parsley and lemon wedges!

- Lamb chops: Double-cut (2 ribs) stay juicier. If using single-cut, roast 20 minutes, then finish uncovered 10–15 minutes.
- Make ahead: Marinade can be made up to 2 days in advance.
- Storage: Refrigerate cooked chops airtight for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: Warm in the microwave or at 350°F / 175°C for 10–12 minutes.
- Freezing: Freeze cooled chops up to 3 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
