This is an easy, flavorful recipe for low sodium roast lamb seasoned with rosemary and garlic. Only three ingredients. We used a boneless leg of lamb. Leg of lamb with the bone would also work.
Low Sodium Roast Lamb seasoned with Garlic and Rosemary
- 3 lbs boneless rolled leg of lamb (can also roast it bone-in), with fat trimmed off, wrapped with string.
- 1 tsp dried rosemary OR 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Mix rosemary and minced garlic together. Then rub the mixture over the entire surface of the roast. Place roast on the rack of a broiler pan or roaster. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the roast. Bake at 450 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until thermometer registers 140 degrees (for medium-rare) to 155 degrees (for medium).
- Remove from oven and cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. (The temperature of the roast will increase 5 degrees while standing.)
