Ingredients
-
4 teaspoons lemon zest, divided, plus lemon wedges for serving
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
4 lamb loin chops
-
8 ounces baby yellow potatoes, scrubbed and halved
-
1 fennel bulb, trimmed (2-3 tablespoons fronds reserved and chopped), quartered, cored and sliced
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
¼ cup Kalamata olives, chopped
Directions
-
Lightly coat the basket of a 6- to 9-quart air fryer with cooking spray. Preheat to 380℉ for 5 minutes.
-
Combine 2 teaspoons lemon zest, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Rub half the mixture over lamb chops. Add potatoes, sliced fennel and oil to the remaining lemon zest mixture in the bowl; toss to coat.
-
Working in batches as necessary, arrange the chops and vegetables in a single layer in the prepared basket.
-
Cook, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a chop registers 145℉, 10 to 12 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, toss olives, the reserved fennel fronds and the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon zest in a bowl. Top the chops and vegetables with the olive mixture. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
