Step-by-Step Instructions for Oven Baked Lamb Chops
  1. In a food processor, combine the red bell pepper, fresh parsley, and peeled garlic cloves. Pulse until chunky, ensuring the vibrant colors shine through.
  2. Season your lamb chops with the prepared marinade, massaging it into the meat for even coverage.
  3. Remove the marinated lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (204°C).
  5. In a cast iron skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  6. Transfer the cast iron skillet with the seared lamb chops directly into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
