Ingredients
- 4 pounds lamb shoulder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Step 3
Add minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the herbs.
Step 4
Stir in olive oil to form a paste-like consistency.
Step 5
Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting pan. Pat the lamb dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the lamb shoulder, pressing it in to adhere.
Step 7
Let the lamb rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes to absorb flavors.
Step 8
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
Step 9
Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and a thermometer reads at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 10
Remove the foil during the last 30-45 minutes of roasting to allow the crust to become crisp and browned.
Step 11
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.
Step 12
Slice the lamb shoulder and serve it with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes.
