Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free breadcrumbs, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and olive oil.
Pat the lamb shoulder dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and black pepper.
Coat the lamb with the garlic and mustard mixture, ensuring it is well-covered.
Press the breadcrumb and herb mixture onto the lamb shoulder to form an even crust.
Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting pan, fat side up.
Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 2 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
Serve the lamb slices warm, paired with your favorite sides.
