Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Slice the garlic cloves thinly and set aside.
Combine the olive oil, sliced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken gizzards to the bowl and toss them until they are fully coated with the herb marinade.
Place the marinated gizzards in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle with lemon juice, ensuring even distribution over the gizzards.
Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil to help tenderize the gizzards while they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, checking for doneness at the 45-minute mark.
Once the gizzards are tender and infused with the herb flavors, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
