Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Pat lamb dry and season with salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Rub with 1/3 cup rosemary and thyme, then drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Roast for 25 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, halve lemons and squeeze juice into a bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Toss with 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
  3. Step 3: After roasting, transfer lamb to a rack. Spoon lemon-herb sauce over the meat. Return to oven and roast 15-20 minutes until juices run clear. Let rest 10 minutes before carving.
