We looooove Mediterranean food. I love being thinner and healthier. I’m on a quest to make ALL the yummy foods I love without the carbs. These keto Greek lamb chops are the perfect recipe to kick off the Mediterranean foods category because they are naturally low carb and full of protein. 💪

These keto Greek lamb chops are super easy to make. First, trim a Frenched rack of lamb into individual chops.

Mix the dry rub and rub into the lamb chops.

Place the lamb chops into a bowl and cover with the marinade. Allowing them to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes gives the chops time to absorb the flavors while also warming up a bit so they cook more evenly.

When it’s time to cook them, a quick 2-3 minute sear on each side will give you a perfectly browned crust with pink on the inside. Use a wired meat thermometer to ensure you reach your desired doneness.

Nutrition facts assume half of the marinade is remaining and discarded prior to cooking. This may be dramatically difference than your own experience.
