Indulge in these air fryer herb-crusted lamb lollipops with a creamy garlic dip for crazy good eats. Perfect blend of crunch, flavor, and luxury!
Ingredients
- • Frenched lamb rib chops: 8
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Fresh rosemary, finely chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • Fresh thyme, finely chopped: 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Panko breadcrumbs: 1 cup
- • Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup
- • Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup
- • Sour cream: 1/4 cup
- • Garlic cloves, minced: 2
- • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • Fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture onto the lamb chops, ensuring even coverage.
- 3 In a separate shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Press each lamb chop into the breadcrumb mixture, coating thoroughly.
- 4 Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the lamb chops in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden and the lamb reaches your desired doneness.
- 5 While the lamb cooks, prepare the dip by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, and parsley in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
- 6 Serve the lamb lollipops hot, with the creamy garlic dip on the side. Garnish with extra parsley for a pop of color.
Serving Suggestions
- • These lamb lollipops are perfect for a sophisticated appetizer or a decadent main course. Pair them with a fresh arugula salad topped with shaved Parmesan and a light vinaigrette to complement the richness of the lamb. For a heartier meal, serve alongside buttery mashed potatoes or a side of creamy risotto. To enhance the culinary experience, consider pairing this dish with a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz, which will balance the lamb's flavors beautifully. Alternatively, a glass of sparkling water with a lemon twist provides a refreshing contrast.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover lamb lollipops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy. The creamy garlic dip can also be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
