Equipment

Cutting board
Paper towels
Small bowl
Oven-proof skillet

Ingredients

2 racks lamb, frenched approximately 1.5 pounds / 680 grams each
2 tbsp olive oil 30 ml
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, chopped 6 grams
1 tsp salt 5 grams
½ tsp black pepper 1 gram
½ tsp dried thyme 1 gram
Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and lemon zest to create the herb infusion.
Place the racks of lamb on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the herb infusion adhere better and ensure a nice crust.
Rub the herb infusion evenly over both sides of the lamb racks. Make sure to massage the mixture into the meat to infuse the flavors deeply.
Let the lamb marinate with the herb infusion for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to enhance the flavors and ensure even cooking.
Heat a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the lamb racks, fat side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and tender cut.
Carve the racks into individual chops by slicing between the bones and serve immediately.

Notes

Adjust the cooking time if you prefer your lamb more or less done.

Letting the lamb rest is crucial for the best texture and flavor.

Serve with a side of roasted keto-friendly vegetables like asparagus or a simple green salad to complete your meal.
