Ingredients
  

For the Lamb Rack
  • 1 rack lamb frenched
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
For the Honey-Glazed Carrots
  • 1 lb baby carrots peeled
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp butter
For Garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • Saucepan
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix.
  3. Step 3: Rub the mustard mixture evenly over the rack of lamb, making sure to coat it well.
  4. Step 4: Press the breadcrumbs onto the mustard-coated lamb to form a nice crust.
  5. Step 5: Place the lamb rack on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Step 6: While the lamb is roasting, prepare the baby carrots. In a saucepan, combine the baby carrots, honey, butter, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and beautifully glazed, about 10-12 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Once the lamb is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Step 8: Serve the sliced lamb rack with the honey-glazed baby carrots on the side, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
