Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Rub this spice blend evenly over 8 lamb loin chops.
2. Step 2: On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 3 medium carrots cut into 1-inch pieces, 2 medium parsnips cut into 1-inch pieces, 1 large red onion cut into wedges, and 3 cloves minced garlic with 3 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt until well coated.
3. Step 3: Place the seasoned lamb chops on top of the vegetables on the baking sheet. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the lamb and vegetables.
4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning lamb chops halfway through, until lamb reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender and caramelized. Let lamb rest 5 minutes before serving.
