A delightful roast lamb recipe infused with garlic and thyme, perfect for a family dinner or special occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect roast.
Using a sharp knife, make small slits all over the lamb.
This allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the meat.
Insert slices of garlic and sprigs of thyme into the slits.
Ensure the garlic and thyme are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Rub the lamb with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Massaging the seasoning into the meat enhances the flavor.
Place the lamb on a roasting pan with the sliced onion underneath.
The onion adds flavor and prevents the lamb from sticking.
Roast the lamb in the oven for approximately 2 hours, basting occasionally with its juices.
Basting keeps the meat moist and flavorful.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest under foil for 15 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender roast.
Carve the lamb and serve with your favorite sides.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
