🥩 Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops

If you're looking for a dish that’s both elegant and effortless, these Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops are your answer. With just a few simple ingredients — olive oil, lemon, garlic, and rosemary 🌿 — you’ll have tender, juicy lamb chops bursting with Mediterranean flavor.

🌿 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This recipe delivers restaurant-quality results in under 30 minutes. The zesty lemon balances the richness of the lamb, while fresh rosemary and garlic infuse deep flavor. Whether you're firing up an outdoor grill or using a cast iron pan indoors, you’ll get a perfect sear and mouthwatering aroma every time.

🔥 Step-by-Step Flavor

Start by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary to create a fragrant marinade. Let the lamb chops bathe in this mixture for at least an hour (or overnight for deeper flavor). Once marinated, grill each side until golden brown — about 4 minutes per side — for that ideal crust and tender interior.

💡 Pro Tip: Resting the lamb chops for 10 minutes before serving locks in the juices, making every bite tender and flavorful.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve these rosemary lamb chops with a side of grilled asparagus, roasted vegetables, or a Greek salad for a balanced, low-carb dinner. A drizzle of the leftover pan juices or a squeeze of fresh lemon ties everything together beautifully.

Great flavor, but next time I’ll use a bit less lemon—it slightly overpowered the lamb. Still a solid weeknight recipe.

Simple and flavorful. I grilled them on a cast iron grill pan and they still turned out juicy and tender. Will make again.
