Spiced Grilled Lamb Chops

Directions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
2. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and rosemary or thyme.
4. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each lamb chop, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
6. Check for doneness by using a meat thermometer: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
7. Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
