We can all agree that lamb chops are always the star of the show when they’re served. Their juicy tenderness steals the spotlight every time. But even the star of the show needs some supporting actors. That’s where the sides for lamb chops come in! You can accentuate the flavors of the lamb chops by pairing them with a variety of delicious sides. From lemon asparagus risotto and glazed carrots to whipped sweet potatoes and garlic bread, the options are endless. These 25 lamb chop sides will take your meal to a whole new level!
1. Scalloped Potatoes
The versatility of potatoes never seems to disappoint. These scalloped potatoes are no different and will leave you daydreaming in a creamy heaven. The best part is you can opt for a dairy-free milk to make this dish vegan-friendly. I can’t imagine a heartier combination than lamb chops paired with scalloped potatoes!
2. Lemon Garlic Roasted Asparagus
If you’re looking to recreate a dish straight from a restaurant’s kitchen, then you’ll need to give this lemon garlic roasted asparagus a try. While you can definitely get away with steaming or sauteing this dish, I’d recommend roasting the asparagus to bring out the savory flavor and add some crispiness. Simply season, throw in the oven, and enjoy!
3. Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I could never understand why Brussels sprouts get such a bad rep when they’re one of the tastiest veggies when prepared properly. These oven-roasted Brussels sprouts are the last thing from mushy and plain and are instead absolutely mouthwatering. The secret is finishing the dish off with a bit of bacon and goat cheese to add some extra flavor.

These glazed carrots are the definition of superb when paired with some yummy lamb chops. They’re also a breeze to make since it relies on such simple ingredients that you probably already have hidden in your pantry.

The best part is that this dish can be served straight out of the oven, or cooled down in the fridge.
7. Green Bean Casserole
This Campbell’s green bean casserole is the perfect contrast between soft green beans and crispy French fried onions. The French fried onions are even more addicting since they’re coated in a mix of bread crumbs, spices, and parmesan cheese. Just an FYI, this dish is dangerously addicting and will leave you licking your plate clean.

If you’re a health nut like I am, then this is the recipe for you! This surprising combination of ingredients perfectly blends together to create an amazing salad.

A classic chutney will add a burst of flavor to the dish, without over contemplating things. This side is loaded with rich ingredients such as mint, cilantro, ginger, and jalapeño. It definitely has a kick to it, however, it’s totally worth it.
