Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Lamb leg roast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley with the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well to form a herb paste.
Pat the lamb leg roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the entire surface of the lamb.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the lamb, pressing it down to ensure it adheres well.
Place the lamb in a roasting pan, fat side up.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the lamb, without touching the bone.
Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for about 75 to 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
Once cooked to desired doneness, remove the lamb from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
Allow the lamb to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
Carve the lamb into slices and serve warm. Enjoy your Keto Herb-Crusted Baked Lamb alongside your favorite keto-friendly side dishes.
