The weather was beautiful on Sunday so I took Basil for a walk to the local Mueller Farmers Market. JBG had the perfect bags of roasting vegetables and the tiniest baby carrots. Just what I needed, along with three doughnuts from Red Rabbit Bakery: coffee, pumpkin, and raspberry!
After a good scrubbing, the vegetables were tossed with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Lamb leg is a really tender cut so you can skip the marinade. However, to add extra flavor, I marinated the lamb with garlic, rosemary (from my own herb garden!), salt, and olive oil for 3 hours prior to roasting.
