These Juicy Grilled Lamb Chops are seasoned simply with olive oil, fresh lemon, cumin, crushed black pepper and salt. I cooked mine in a Ninja Indoor Grill, then paired them with my Maple Saffron Butter Sauce for a glossy sweet-savory finish. You can also cook the chops on another grill or in the oven and adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly.

Juicy Grilled Lamb Chops with Maple Saffron Butter Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 lb (about 900 g) lamb chops
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tbsp (1½ tsp) cumin powder
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Maple Saffron Butter Sauce, as desired, for drizzling or dipping

Instructions

  1. Place the lamb chops in a bowl and add the olive oil, lemon juice, crushed black pepper, cumin powder and salt.
  2. Mix until the lamb chops are evenly coated with the simple seasoning mixture.
  3. Cook in a Ninja Indoor Grill at 375°F for 14–15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your preferred doneness.
  4. If using another indoor grill, an outdoor grill or an oven, adjust the temperature and cooking time for your appliance and the thickness of the lamb chops.
  5. Serve the lamb chops hot with Maple Saffron Butter Sauce drizzled over the top or served on the side for dipping.

Grill or Oven Note

The 375°F, 14–15 minute timing is the method I used in my Ninja Indoor Grill. Other grills and ovens cook differently, so adjust the temperature and timing based on your appliance and the thickness of your lamb chops. A meat thermometer is the easiest way to check doneness.

Serve with Maple Saffron Butter Sauce

The lamb chops are delicious with their simple cumin-and-lemon seasoning on their own, but the Maple Saffron Butter Sauce adds a buttery, fragrant, lightly spicy finish. Drizzle it on just before serving or keep it on the side for dipping.
