Let’s be honest—sometimes you need a dish that screams fancy but doesn't keep you chained to the kitchen. Enter: Air Fryer Lamb Lollipops. The perfect combination of simplicity, elegance, and oh-so-gourmet flavor.

When I think of an "elegant meal" lamb is always my first thought. You’ll often find lamb on the menus of fine dining restaurants, from French rack of lamb (carré d’agneau) to Middle Eastern kofta and Mediterranean herb-crusted lamb. It holds tradition, culinary craftsmanship, and a touch of sophistication.

Why Lamb Lollipops?

• Fast & Fancy: Lamb lollipops look impressive but cook in minutes.

• Superior Flavor: Grass-fed Australian lamb is known for its rich, clean taste and tenderness.

• No Fuss: The air fryer handles the heavy lifting—no oil, no mess.

Air Fryer Lamb Lollipops

Ingredients

• 1 rack of grass-fed Australian lamb

• Lindberg Snider Porterhouse & Roast Seasoning

• Idahoan Instant Mashed Potatoes (any flavor you love)

• 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed - Just snap off the ends! No need to involve a knife!

Optional Dry Aging (If You Have Time)

If you can spare a little prep time, dry-age the lamb in the fridge. Place the rack of lamb on a wire rack and let it sit uncovered in the fridge for 8 to 72 hours. This helps develop a rich, golden crust when cooking. If not, skip it—your lamb will still be delicious!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cut the Lamb Lollipops

• Place the rack of grass-fed Australian lamb on a cutting board, bone-side up.

• Using a sharp knife, slice between each rib bone to create individual lamb chops (lollipops).
