  • free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pierce with a fork several times. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast for 35 40 minutes or until tender and slightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. While sweet potatoes are roasting, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Grill the lamb chops for 4 5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and set aside to rest.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat remaining olive oil over low heat. Add unpeeled garlic cloves and cook gently until golden brown and caramelized (around 10 12 minutes). Stir in chicken broth and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. If desired, stir in butter for extra richness.
  5. To serve, place a roasted sweet potato on each plate, top with a grilled lamb chop, and drizzle generously with the caramelized garlic sauce. Garnish with rosemary and thyme sprigs.

Chef’s Insight

To ensure the perfect doneness of the lamb chops, use a meat thermometer. Cook the lamb chops to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.

Notes

To create the perfect image for this dish, focus on capturing the golden-brown color of the caramelized garlic sauce, the tender pinkness of the lamb chops, and the softness of the roasted sweet potatoes.
