  • Preheat air fryer to 380°F for 5 minutes. Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray and arrange the chops in the basket in a single layer (depending on the size of the air fryer, this may require 2 batches).

  • Cook until the chops begin to brown lightly, about 4 minutes. Flip, then cook to medium-rare (120°F), 4 to 5 minutes. (If cooking in batches, transfer the chops to a plate; cover and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chops.)

Tip

Frenched racks of lamb are readily available at the meat counter of most grocery stores. If the rack isn't frenched, you can ask the butcher counter to cut and clean the lamb racks. Or, you can do it yourself by removing any meat and gristle on the bone. You can also skip frenching the racks entirely.
