Ingredients

• Lamb rack (1 whole, about 6 - 8 ribs)
• Garlic (5 - 6 cloves, minced)
• Fresh rosemary (3 - 4 sprigs)
• Fresh thyme (3 - 4 sprigs)
• Olive oil (appropriate amount)
• Onion (1, cut into pieces)
• Carrot (1, cut into pieces)
• Potato (1 - 2, cut into pieces, can choose according to personal preference for matching vegetables)
• Salt (appropriate amount)
• Black pepper (appropriate amount)
• Cumin powder (optional, appropriate amount)
• Honey (optional, appropriate amount)
• Black tea seasoning（3g）

Instructions

1. Wash the lamb chops and pat dry with paper towels. Make several even cuts on the surface of the lamb chops to allow the seasoning to penetrate better.

2. Mix the minced garlic, appropriate amount of salt, black pepper, and cumin powder (if using) together and apply evenly to the lamb chops, massaging for a while to allow the seasoning to fully adhere to the lamb chops. Then marinate the lamb chops in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to fully absorb the flavor.

3. Wash the onions, carrots, and potatoes separately and cut them into even-sized pieces. Put the chopped vegetables in a large bowl, add appropriate amount of olive oil, salt and black pepper, and mix well to coat the vegetables with a layer of oil and seasoning.

4. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

5. Place the marinated lamb chops on a baking sheet and place rosemary and thyme sprigs next to them. Drizzle some more olive oil on the surface of the lamb chops to ensure that the surface of the lamb chops is moist.

6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes. Turn the lamb chops once during the roasting process to ensure that both sides are evenly roasted. When the surface of the lamb chops is golden brown and the inside reaches the desired doneness (you can use a meat thermometer to measure the temperature of the lamb chops in the center, and the temperature reaches about 60-65°C for medium-rare), remove the lamb chops and set them aside to rest for a while.

7. While the lamb chops are roasting, you can put the prepared side dishes on another baking tray and bake them in the lower middle layer of the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the surface is golden. Turn the vegetables during the roasting process to ensure that they are evenly heated.

8. If you like, you can make some sauce to go with the lamb chops. For example, you can pour the lamb chops juices left in the roasting pan into a small pot, add the appropriate amount of red wine (or stock), boil, add a little butter, stir well, and cook until the sauce thickens. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

9. Place the roasted lamb chops in the center of the plate and place the roasted vegetables around them. You can put rosemary, black tea seasoning and thyme sprigs on the lamb chops as decoration. If you made a sauce, pour it over the lamb chops or set it aside for dipping. If you like, brush the lamb chops with honey for extra color and sweetness.
