Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) lamb chops
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 clove garlic, minced
0.5 tablespoon crushed fresh rosemary leaves
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
0.25 cup mint jelly

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for optimal cooking.
Trim any excess fat from the lamb chops, leaving a little for added flavor. Lightly coat each chop with olive oil. Season generously with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Arrange the lamb chops in a cast iron skillet for even cooking.
Bake the lamb chops uncovered in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness. For medium-well, an instant-read thermometer should register at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chop.
Take the skillet out of the oven, cover the chops tightly with foil, and let them rest for 8 to 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve these delectable lamb chops with mint jelly for a classic pairing.
