Ingredients
- 8 chops lamb chops (1-inch thick)
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 whole lemon
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 475°F. Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels.
- 2
Mix cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub evenly over all sides of the chops.
- 3
Drizzle a sheet pan with olive oil and heat in the oven for 2 minutes until smoking hot.
- 4
Place chops on the hot pan in a single layer. Roast 6 minutes without moving—edges will char and develop a crust.
- 5
Flip each chop and roast 4 more minutes. Centers should feel springy; an instant-read thermometer reads 130°F for medium-rare.
- 6
Drizzle with honey and squeeze lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately with fresh herbs if you have them.
