  • Make sure you buy American lamb for utmost freshness and flavor.
  • Season the lamb with a dry spice mixture and oil only. Avoid bits of food like garlic, onions or herbs that can burn in the air fryer.

  • Always preheat your air fryer for two minutes before air frying anything.
  • Air fry the lamb for 8 minutes and then flip the chops. Air fry for an extra 4-6 minutes depending on how well done you want the meat to be.
  • Serve the chops with Air fryer potatoes.
