Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, dried mint flakes, dried oregano, dried marjoram, dried thyme, crushed rosemary, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground white pepper, and salt until well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the marinade for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. (Refrigeration time: 1 hour minimum)

03

Step

Pierce the boneless leg of lamb evenly in multiple places using a fork or knife to help the marinade penetrate the meat. Place the lamb into a gallon-sized freezer bag.

04

Step

Pour the prepared marinade over the lamb, ensuring it is fully coated. Squeeze out any excess air from the bag and seal tightly. Marinate the lamb in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor infusion. (Marination time: 8 hours to overnight)

05

Step

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare a shallow roasting pan by lightly coating it with cooking spray.

06

Step

Remove the marinated lamb from the freezer bag and shake off any excess marinade. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for basting the vegetables, and discard the remaining marinade.

07

Step

Place the lamb in the center of the prepared roasting pan.

08

Step

In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and carrots. Pour the vegetable oil and the reserved 2 tablespoons of marinade over the vegetables. Toss to coat evenly.

09

Step

Arrange the vegetables around the lamb in the roasting pan. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.

10

Step

Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for approximately 80 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the lamb registers 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). (Roasting time: 80 minutes)

11

Step

Remove the aluminum foil from the roasting pan and continue cooking the lamb until it is firm to the touch and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 10 more minutes. (Additional roasting time: 10 minutes)

12

Step

Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (Resting time: 10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine vinegar to the marinade.
If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, dried herbs can be used. Use about 1 teaspoon of each dried herb for the marinade.
Adjust cooking time according to the size of your lamb roast and your preferred level of doneness. A meat thermometer is essential for ensuring accurate cooking.
Serve the roasted lamb with a side of roasted vegetables and a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
The marinade can be adjusted to your liking. Feel free to add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
