Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (907g) rack of lamb
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios or almonds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the salt, pepper, thyme, basil and coriander in a small bowl.
  2. Brush the lamb with olive oil and rub with the spice mixture until well coated on all sides and sprinkle with the nut crumbs.
  3. Place the lamb in the air fryer basket and roast at 360 degree F / 180 degrees C for 7 minutes on one side.
  4. Turn the rack of lamb over to the other side and cook for another 7 minutes or until the lamb reaches about 6-10 degrees below your desired level of doneness when checked with a digital meat thermometer.
  5. Remove the lamb from the air fryer basket. Wrap it in foil and let rest for 10 minutes. During this time, the temperature inside the piece of meat will rise another 6-10 degrees F, the juices will be distributed and the meat will become juicier.
  6. Unwrap the lamb and cut into thin slices, serve with vegetables and sauce.

Notes

  • Purchase a frenched rack of lamb for a nicer final presentation. 
  • If you purchase “cap-on” lamb, trim the excess fat before cooking. Purchase “cap off” to eliminate this step. 
  • Bring the rack of lamb to room temperature for at least 30 minutes for more even cooking. 
  • If desired, cover the rack of lamb with plastic wrap after seasoning and let them rest for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Dried herbs will stand up to the heat of the air fryer better than fresh herbs. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs after cooking. 
  • Cooking beyond medium is not recommended and may bring out a gamey flavor. 
  • Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  • Cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. 
  • Serve with vegetables and your favorite sauce.
