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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Pat the lamb leg roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Rub the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the entire surface of the lamb.

Step 5

Spread the herb mixture evenly over the lamb, pressing it down to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Place the lamb in a roasting pan, fat side up.

Step 7

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the lamb, without touching the bone.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once cooked to desired doneness, remove the lamb from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil.

Step 10

Allow the lamb to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Step 11

Carve the lamb into slices and serve warm. Enjoy your Keto Herb-Crusted Baked Lamb alongside your favorite keto-friendly side dishes.
