Ingredients

• 1 8-bone rack (about 1.5 to 2 pounds) rack of lamb
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the rack of lamb on a cutting board with the meat side up. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Step 3

Rub the rack of lamb all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to allow it to come to room temperature.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Sear the rack of lamb in the skillet, fat side down, for 3-4 minutes until it is well browned. Turn and sear the back for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat. Brush the seared side of the lamb with Dijon mustard.

Step 8

Pat the herb mixture onto the mustard-coated side of the rack, packing it firmly to create a crust.

Step 9

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast the lamb for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing into chops.

Step 11

Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops with your choice of Keto-friendly sides.
