Preheat the oven to 425°F.

In a medium bowl, mix the dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, 1⁄2 cup Greek yogurt, and mustard until well combined. Place the lamb in a medium-size airtight container, and spread the Greek yogurt mixture all over the top and bottom. Close the container and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Take the lamb out of the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Place the lamb in the skillet fat side down, and sear for 3–5 minutes until browned. If the skillet isn’t large enough to fit both racks of lamb, cook them one at a time. Turn the rack over, and cook the other side for 2 minutes. When both sides are seared, place in a large baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon mint. Sprinkle this mixture all over both sides of the lamb. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for 12–18 minutes, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 125–130°F.

Remove the lamb from the oven, and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil. To serve, slice into individual chops and top with a dollop of Greek yogurt and chopped fresh mint, if desired.
