Equipment
- oven
Ingredients
- 6 lamb loin chops frozen
- 1 large potato cut into cubes
- 1 medium carrot cut into cubes
- 4 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp for vegetables, 2 tbsp for lamb chops
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 large sprig of fresh rosemary chopped
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 240°C (400°F).
- Toss the potato and carrot cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt until they're evenly coated in an oven proof container like a metal tray or glass dish (I used glass dishes). The food will cook quicker on a metal tray so adjust time accordingly.
- In a separate tray/glass dish, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, thyme, sage, rosemary, and lemon juice. Add the lamb chops and coat them evenly with the marinade. Season with salt to taste.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning the lamb chops and vegetables every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. (If you prefer you lamb not so well done reduce the time by about 10 minutes to 20 minutes cooking time and check the lamb is cooked to your preference and hot in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot, garnish with plenty of mint sauce or jelly.

Notes
- Replace lamb chops with beef or pork chops for a different flavor profile.
- If you are using fresh not frozen lamb chops you might need to put the vegetables on the top shelf and the meat underneath in the oven, to get them cooked through in time with the meat getting cooked.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter twist.
- Swap carrots with parsnips or Brussels sprouts for a varied texture.
- Add some garlic to the marinade for an extra depth of flavor.
- Use dried rosemary instead of fresh if you don't have it on hand.
- Try using lime juice instead of lemon for a different citrus flavor.
