Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the lamb chops with the olive oil mixture and set them aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
On each sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil, place 3 halved baby potatoes, a few carrot sticks, and a portion of sliced red onion.
Lay a marinated lamb chop on top of the vegetables on each sheet.
Place a sprig of rosemary and thyme on top of each lamb chop for added flavor.
Fold the parchment paper or foil into a sealed packet, ensuring no leaks.
Place the packets on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, depending on how well done you prefer the lamb.
Carefully remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.
Serve the lamb directly from the packets for a rustic presentation, or plate with the vegetables on the side.
