Air Fryer Lemony Lamb Chops with Fennel & Olives
Lamb chops turn tender and juicy in the air fryer alongside potatoes and fennel in this impressive main dish. An olive-fennel topping completes the recipe for a pop of briny flavor.
Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons lemon zest, divided, plus lemon wedges for serving
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 lamb loin chops
- 8 ounces baby yellow potatoes, scrubbed and halved
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed (2-3 tablespoons fronds reserved and chopped), quartered, cored and sliced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup kalamata olives, chopped
Directions:
- Lightly coat the basket of a 6- to 9-quart air fryer with cooking spray. Preheat to 380℉ for 5 minutes.
- Combine 2 teaspoons lemon zest, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Rub half the mixture over lamb chops. Add potatoes, sliced fennel and oil to the remaining lemon zest mixture in the bowl; toss to coat.
- Working in batches as necessary, arrange the chops and vegetables in a single layer in the prepared basket.
- Cook, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a chop registers 145℉, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss olives, the reserved fennel fronds and the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon zest in a bowl. Top the chops and vegetables with the olive mixture. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

My friends love me, but they really only want to come to Maine in the summer time. And when they arrive they want the beach and seafood, in that order. Grilled scallops have become my go-to après beach meal because they are quick, delicious and go very well with the French rosès I like to drink in the summer time.
