Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 lamb chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove lamb chops from marinade and let excess marinade drip off.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the root vegetables with honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place the root vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  6. While the vegetables are roasting, grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
  7. Remove lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving alongside the roasted root vegetables. Enjoy!

Notes

For a smoky flavor, consider adding a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.

For the best flavor, marinate the lamb chops for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the herbs to penetrate the meat more deeply. If you don’t have fresh herbs, dried ones can work in a pinch, but use them sparingly.

Root vegetables can be swapped based on your preference; try sweet potatoes or parsnips for a twist. Leftover grilled lamb can be sliced thinly for sandwiches the next day, while roasted veggies can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
