Step 1
Preheat oven to 475°F. Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Mix cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub evenly over all sides of the chops.
Step 3
Drizzle a sheet pan with olive oil and heat in the oven for 2 minutes until smoking hot.
Step 4
Place chops on the hot pan in a single layer. Roast 6 minutes without moving—edges will char and develop a crust.
Step 5
Flip each chop and roast 4 more minutes. Centers should feel springy; an instant-read thermometer reads 130°F for medium-rare.
Step 6
Drizzle with honey and squeeze lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately with fresh herbs if you have them.
