Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
  2. Cut vegetables into chunks, toss with smashed garlic cloves, tomatoes and olive oil in a deep oven tray. Sprinkle with sea salt. Season lamb racks with olive oil and salt and add to the tray with the veggies.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes (if interlacing the bones, they’ll need 10 minutes longer). Remove lamb racks to rest. Return veggies to oven for a further 10 minutes.
  4. Slice lamb into cutlets, serve with roasted veggies. Drizzle with pesto.

Notes

Tip
If you fancy some roast potatoes, cheat and have a two-pan dinner. Simply cut potatoes into roasting pieces and microwave them for 5 minutes with a splash of water. Pat dry and toss with a tablespoon of oil. Arrange on baking paper on a tray. Roast with the lamb racks.
Variation
Try experimenting with a different pesto – the other night I served lamb racks with coriander and rocket pesto and some hummus.
