Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the chops: If the layer of fat is very thick, cut a bit of it off.
8 lamb chops
Make the marinade: Mix olive oil, dried herbs, grated garlic, salt, and pepper.
2 tablespoons olive oil + 1 large garlic clove + ½ teaspoon dried rosemary + ½ teaspoon dried thyme + ½ teaspoon dried oregano + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt or Kosher + ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Turn the lamb chops into the mixture to coat all over, and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer (Note 3).
Air fry lamb chops for 3 minutes. Flip the pieces using tongs and cook for another 3 minutes or until done to your liking.
Rest the meat for 3 minutes before serving; the internal temperature will rise during the resting time (Note 4).

Lamb chops: Cut from a rack of lamb. You can buy a whole rack and cut the chops yourself or use pre-cut lamb chops. One chop weighs between 2.5-2.8 oz (70-80 g). If you want to cook more, do that in batches.
If you are cooking chops cut from the shoulder, increase the cooking time slightly (they are thicker) and check if the meat is safely cooked with a meat thermometer.
Marinate the meat 1 for up to 12 hours. However, the marinating time is optional.
