Ingredients
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the lamb chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. If desired, add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
In a baking dish, toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of herbs if using. Spread them out evenly and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and cook the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
In the last 10 minutes of roasting the sweet potatoes, add the green beans to the oven on a baking sheet, drizzled with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Serving
Arrange the lamb chops on plates alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and green beans. Garnish with extra herbs if desired. Serve hot for a hearty and flavorful meal that highlights the deliciousness of simple, wholesome ingredients.
