What Herbs go well with Lamb?

My favorite way to make a lamb rack is with a marinade of olive oil, lemon, fresh rosemary, garlic  and thyme.

But honestly, I love lamb just about any way I’ve tried it!

  • salt, pepper and garlic
  • parsley, rosemary and thyme

What sides go well with rack of lamb when doing keto or low carb?Lamb and Asparagus Sheet Pan

  • There’s something about asparagus that makes me think I need lamb and vice versa! Make a pan of this roasted asparagus !
  • Easter is a perfect time to make lamb because so many spring vegetables are ready
  • Roast some  vegetables right in the pan! Think cherry tomatoes, asparagus, tender young zucchini and radishes. You can easily make this a one pan sheet pan dinner!
  •  Pure comfort food when you add pureed cauliflower (see my cauli mash recipe here)
  • For guests, make a greek cauliflower rice dish with parsley, lemon and oregano.  Use this authentic tzatziki sauce recipe to serve with it.

 

For this recipe, I roasted asparagus right in the sheet pan beside the lamb racks. And I used lemon, garlic, rosemary, thyme and olive oil on the lamb.

Easy Keto Rack of Lamb with Herbs and Garlic

Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Juicy succulent roast rack of lamb is so ketogenic and so fancy! Yet it is quick and simple enough for a weeknight dinner. Roast veggies alongside for a sheet pan meal! Perfect Easter meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 Lamb racks (about 6-8 ribs each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic (3-4 cloves)
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Preparation:

  1. Put all the ingredients in a large ziploc bag
  2. Smoosh it around. Yes I think that's a legit cooking term.
  3. Allow the lamb to marinate for a couple hours or even overnight.

When ready to Cook:

  1. Place ziploc bag on plate on the counter an hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature
  2. Preheat oven to 375
  3. Place lamb racks in roasting pan.
  4. Place rosemary sprigs in pan.
  5. If roasting veggies, arrange them in the pan as well
  6. Check lamb with a thermometer at about 20-25 minutes. The lamb will be medium rare at about 140 degrees
  7. Cook longer if needed to reach desired temperature.
  8. Cover with foil and let rest for a few minutes.
  9. Slice into lamb chops and serve with roasted veggies and cauliflower mash or rice.

  1. Delicious recipe with minimal fuss. We had this for our Christmas meal and it was perfect, with plenty of yummy leftovers. Thank you for sharing!

  2. This is in the oven right now. I’ve been keto for almost a year, and recipes like this are a life line for me. I LOVE lamb and can’t wait to dig into this! Smells amazing!

  3. I love that you put this together – though I’m not personally a keto fan, I know a lot of people who are into it but only eat like heavy cream and cheese all day long lol. I love that you shared healthy, nutritious recipes that fit a keto lifestyle.

    1. You just need any oven proof pan that can withstand the heat and that has sides so nothing drips out onto your oven! Even shallow sides would work.
