Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb Boneless leg of lamb Trimmed of excess fat
  • 2 whole Lemons Zested and juiced
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary Finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil Divided
  • 1 lb Baby potatoes Halved
  • 1 medium Red onion Cut into wedges
  • 1 medium White onion Cut into wedges
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Ends trimmed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, half of the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the herb rub.
  • Rub the boneless leg of lamb evenly with the lemon herb mixture and place it in the center of a large roasting pan.
  • Arrange the baby potatoes, red onions, and white onions around the lamb in the pan. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 135°F for medium-rare.
  • During the last 15 minutes of the roasting time, add the trimmed asparagus to the pan with the other vegetables.
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Transfer the lamb to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the rested lamb and serve immediately alongside the roasted root vegetables, asparagus, and pan drippings.
