Start by marinating the lamb chops in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Let the lamb chops marinate for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

After marinating, remove the lamb chops from the marinade and allow the excess to drip off.

Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and reach your desired doneness.

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add sliced onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and corn to the grill.

Remove the vegetables when they are tender and slightly charred.

Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving them.
