Ingredients

• Lamb chops - 4 pieces (about 500g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon zest - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Coat the lamb chops thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring all sides are covered. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
4. Place the marinated lamb chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
6. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and lemon zest before serving.
