Air Fryer Lamb FAQ

1. How long does it take to cook lamb in the air fryer?

   Depends on the cut! Lamb chops usually take 8-12 minutes at 400°F (200°C), while a small lamb roast might need 25-30 minutes. Always check with a meat thermometer—medium-rare is about 130°F (54°C), and medium is 140°F (60°C).

2. How do I keep air fryer lamb from drying out?

   Two key things: Don’t overcook it, and let it rest for 5 minutes after cooking so the juices stay in. A little olive oil or butter brushed on top after cooking also helps keep it tender.

3. How do I store leftover air fryer lamb?

   Let it cool completely (but not more than 2 hours at room temp), then store it in an airtight container in the fridge. If you can, wrap it in foil or parchment paper before putting it in the container to keep it from drying out.

4. Can I freeze leftover air fryer lamb?

   Absolutely! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then put it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It stays fresh for up to 3 months. Just label it so you don’t forget about it
