Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F and bring the marinated lamb to room temperature.

  2. Pat the lamb dry. Mince garlic and combine it with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to form a paste, then stir in minced herbs. Rub this paste thoroughly over the lamb roast and tie it with kitchen string if needed.

  3. Marinate the lamb, covered and chilled, for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

  4. Trim and quarter carrots and parsnips, removing the tough core from parsnips. Lightly coat a roasting pan with 1 teaspoon olive oil, then arrange these vegetables in the center with the lamb on top.

  5. Cut other root vegetables into chunks and arrange them around the lamb. Drizzle all vegetables with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  6. Roast for 40 minutes.

  7. Remove the pan, toss the vegetables in the pan juices, then return to the oven. Continue roasting until the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 145 F for medium-rare or 160 F for medium, which should take approximately 35 additional minutes.

  8. Cover the roast with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 to 30 minutes before carving into slices.

  9. Serve the sliced lamb alongside the roasted root vegetables.
