Marinated in garlic and herbs, these lovely keto lamb chops are quick, delicious, and surprisingly simple. The tender, seasoned lamb is savory and aromatic, and the classic flavors pair well with a wide range of sides. Rosemary roasted squash and zucchini accompany the succulent main this time. But give buttery cauliflower rice pilaf, grilled asparagus or roasted root veggies a try next time.
