A flavorful and aromatic Moroccan-inspired lamb dish, perfect for a special dinner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, freshly ground black pepper, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and minced garlic.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the lamb chops, ensuring all sides are coated.
Massage the marinade into the meat for better absorption of flavors.
Place the coated lamb chops on a baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature for 1 hour to marinate.
Allowing the lamb to reach room temperature helps it cook more evenly.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the lamb inside.
Roast the lamb chops in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare.
Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness without cutting into the meat.
Remove the lamb chops from the oven and cover them with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.
Serve the lamb chops warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of couscous or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
