Delicious Roast Lamb With Rosemary And Garlic Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
7
  • 1 whole leg of lamb (about 4-5 pounds)
  • 4 cloves garlic (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully heated for even roasting.
  2. Prepare the Lamb

    Place the leg of lamb in a roasting pan.

    Make small incisions and insert garlic slices for flavor.
  3. Season the Lamb

    Rub the lamb with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

    Make sure to coat the lamb evenly.
  4. Roast the Lamb

    Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (145°F for medium-rare).
  5. Rest and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

    Resting allows juices to redistribute for a tender result.
