Ingredients

Scale

Lamb Chops Marinade

  • 4 bone-in lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Roasted Root Vegetables

  • 2 cups mixed root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, potatoes), diced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the lamb chops and vegetables.
  2. Prepare Marinade and Marinate Lamb: In a bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat each lamb chop thoroughly with this marinade and let them rest for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Prepare Vegetables: Toss the mixed root vegetables in olive oil with salt and pepper until evenly coated, ensuring they roast evenly and develop a lovely caramelized texture.
  4. Arrange and Roast: Place the marinated lamb chops on one side of a large baking sheet and spread the seasoned root vegetables on the other side. Roast everything in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the lamb reaches medium-rare doneness (145°F/63°C) and the vegetables are tender and golden.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the lamb chops from the oven and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes to retain their juices before serving alongside the roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the lamb chops overnight.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness of the lamb.
  • Feel free to swap root vegetables according to seasonality or preference.
  • Resting the meat after roasting is essential for juicy, tender lamb chops.
