Garlic Herb Roasted Leg of Lamb 🍖🌿✨
Succulent, flavorful, and irresistibly aromatic — this Garlic Herb Roasted Leg of Lamb makes an unforgettable centerpiece for any special occasion. A fragrant blend of fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil forms a golden, crispy crust that locks in all the juicy goodness.
Ingredients: Leg of lamb, olive oil, garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Instructions: Start by patting the leg of lamb dry, then use a sharp knife to make small incisions all over the surface. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Rub this flavorful mixture generously over the lamb, making sure to press it into the cuts for deeper infusion.
Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a baking pan. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes to develop a seared crust. Then, lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting until it reaches your desired doneness — typically 1½ to 2 hours for medium.
Once done, let the lamb rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing. Moist, aromatic, and full of bold flavor — this dish is a timeless favorite that’s sure to impress!
