Author's Notes

To add extra flavor, I marinated the lamb with garlic, rosemary, salt, and olive oil for 3 hours prior to roasting.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Remove the Leg of Lamb (4 lb) from the marinade and let the excess drip back into the bag.
step 2
Place the leg on a plate and season generously with Garlic (1 head), Fresh Rosemary (3 sprigs), and a bit Coarse Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 3
Pour the marinade into a roasting pan and add Mixed Vegetables (2 cups). Toss with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 cup) and season with Coarse Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).

step 5
Roast for 15 minutes. Did you know, that using a meat probe would guarantee you the perfect result by saving you time and effort? A wide range of ovens with meat probe can be found on our website!
step 6
Then cover with foil and reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and cook about 1 1/2 hours until medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) when inserted in the thickest part of the lamb.
step 7
Allow leg of lamb to rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Toss vegetables with pan juices. Serve and enjoy!
