Step 1
Toss peppers and onions with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast at 450°F.
Step 2
Pat lamb chops dry. Mix oregano, lemon zest, garlic, 2 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3
Rub the marinade all over the lamb chops on both sides, pressing gently so it sticks.
Step 4
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high until smoking. Sear lamb 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare; the surface should look crusty and golden.
Step 5
Remove lamb to a warm plate. Squeeze lemon juice over the chops and let rest 3 minutes.
Step 6
Check peppers and onions at the 15-minute mark — they should be tender and charred at the edges. Plate lamb alongside roasted vegetables.
