How to make Air fryer Roast Lamb

Season the lamb

Rub the lamb with crushed garlic, mustard, fresh thyme, rosemary, salt and black pepper. Make sure it’s coated well, this is where the flavour lives.

First cook

Place the lamb into the air fryer basket and cook at 160°C for 35 minutes.

Add potatoes and turn the lamb

Turn the lamb, add halved potatoes around it, season lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a little olive oil if you like.

Finish cooking

Increase the temperature to 180°C and cook for a further 25 minutes.

Rest before slicing the Air fryer Roast Lamb

Remove the lamb and rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

Easy gravy from the drippings

Pour the drippings from the air fryer basket into a small pan, add a 1/3 cup flour and mix with wate, simmer gently and season to taste.

Can you do lamb shanks in the air fryer?

Lamb shanks need slow, moist cooking. For best results, braise them first, then finish in the air fryer if you want colour.
