• 2 lamb chops (about 4 oz each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder (divided)
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.25 tsp cumin
• pinch of salt and black pepper
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

1. Prep: Pat lamb chops dry and rub with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss broccoli florets with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp chili powder, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a small bowl, combine diced avocado, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt for the salsa.
2. Air-fry the lamb chops at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
3. While the lamb cooks, air-fry the seasoned broccoli at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket once, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
4. Rest the cooked lamb chops for 5 minutes before slicing.
5. Divide the spicy broccoli between two plates, top with sliced lamb chops, and spoon a generous amount of avocado salsa over each serving.
6. Top tip: For an extra kick, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the avocado salsa.
