Pat the lamb loin chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Place the lamb chops in the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours for more intense flavor.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.

Place the lamb loin chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure there's space between the chops for even cooking.

Cook the lamb chops at 400°F (200°C) for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops and your preferred level of doneness:

Medium-rare: 8 minutes

Medium: 10 minutes

Well-done: 12 minutes
