Garlic-Rosemary Lamb Loin Chops with Roasted Delicata & Brussels

Fast-seared lamb chops with a bright lemon-garlic pan sauce, paired with caramelized delicata squash and Brussels sprouts. Cozy, elegant, and perfect for a fall weeknight for two.

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Lamb Loin Chops ~1 lb (2 large or 4 small chops) sale $13.49 (reg $15.99) per lb
  • Delicata squash, seeded and sliced into half-moons 1 medium (~1 lb)
  • Brussels sprouts, halved 10 oz
  • Garlic, minced 4 cloves
  • Fresh rosemary, finely chopped 2 tsp
  • Fresh thyme leaves 1 tsp
  • Lemon (zest and juice) 1
  • Olive oil 3 tbsp
  • Unsalted butter (optional) 1 tbsp
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional) pinch

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. On a sheet pan, toss delicata and Brussels with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until browned and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, pat lamb dry. Season generously with salt and pepper; rub with 1 tsp rosemary, thyme, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high. Sear lamb 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal ~130–135°F). Transfer to a plate to rest.
  4. Make pan sauce: Lower heat to medium. Add remaining minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes; cook 20 seconds. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice and 2–3 tbsp water (or stock) to deglaze, scraping browned bits. Whisk in butter (if using) and remaining rosemary; simmer 30–60 seconds to glossy.
  5. Serve lamb with roasted vegetables; spoon pan sauce over the chops and finish with extra lemon wedges.

Health notes: Approx. 780 calories per serving. High-protein, lower-carb; rich in vitamin A and C from squash and Brussels. To lighten, reduce oil/butter and serve with extra veg.

Drink pairing: WA Syrah or GSM blend; for beer, a malty amber ale.
