Season the veal shanks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dredge each shank lightly in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the veal shanks and sear them on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté the vegetables over medium heat until they begin to soften, about 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Nestle the browned veal shanks back into the pot, making sure they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. If desired, skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.
Before serving, mix the lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl to make a gremolata. Sprinkle over the osso bucco for garnish.
Serve the gluten-free osso bucco hot, with your choice of side dish such as gluten-free risotto or mashed potatoes.
