Introduction

Lamb chops are an excellent choice for an elegant dinner party. They’re also a good option if you’re looking to try something new and want to cook with the freshest ingredients possible. We often hear from customers who ask us how long lamb chops take in the oven, so we thought we’d answer that question for you here!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a baking sheet on the rack, or line a baking pan with foil and set it on the rack.

Lamb chops can be cooked in any type of pan; however, if you don’t have a baking sheet or pan that is suitable for use in your oven, place them directly on top of parchment paper instead of using an actual dish.

Arrange the chops on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.

To cook the lamb chops, arrange them on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven until they are done, about 25 minutes for medium-rare or 30 minutes for medium doneness. Check with a meat thermometer to ensure that you have reached your desired level of doneness: 125 degrees F (for rare), 130 degrees F (for medium rare), 135 degrees F (for medium), 140 degrees F (for well done).

Roast for 15 minutes for medium-rare (145 degrees F) and 20 minutes for medium (160 degrees F).

Lamb chops are a tender cut of meat, so they need to be cooked carefully. If you don’t cook them long enough, they will still be raw in the middle. If you cook them for too long, however, they will become dry and tough.

You can tell when your lamb chops are done by checking their internal temperature with a meat thermometer. The USDA recommends cooking medium-rare lamb chops to 145 degrees F; medium-well should reach 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
