Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with foil. In a large bowl, toss 3 medium peeled and 1-inch chopped carrots and 1 lb halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme. Spread vegetables evenly on the sheet pan.
- Step 2: In the same bowl, combine 8 lamb rib chops with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Rub herbs and oil all over the lamb.
- Step 3: Nestle the seasoned lamb chops among the vegetables on the sheet pan.
- Step 4: Roast everything in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through, until lamb reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and let lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted vegetables.
