# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8 lamb chops

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
03 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
04 - 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
05 - 1 red onion, cut into wedges

→ Seasonings & Marinades

06 - 3 tbsp olive oil
07 - 2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

09 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
10 - 1 lemon, zest and juice
11 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnish

12 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, and red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan.
03 - Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes until they begin to soften and develop color.
04 - Meanwhile, pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Rub with remaining olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
05 - Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Nestle lamb chops and asparagus among the partially roasted vegetables.
06 - Return to the oven and roast for an additional 18-20 minutes, flipping lamb chops halfway through, until lamb reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender.
07 - Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and extra lemon wedges if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything cooks together so flavors mingle while you actually enjoy your guests
  • Minimal cleanup means more time for what really matters
02 -
  • Lamb continues cooking after leaving the oven, so pull it a few degrees before your target temperature
  • Crowding the pan leads to steaming instead of roasting, so use two pans if needed
03 -
  • Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving to redistribute the juices
  • Line your pan with parchment for the easiest cleanup imaginable
