Easter Dinner Sheet Pan Lamb Chops (Print View)

Herb-roasted lamb chops with spring vegetables cooked together on one sheet pan for an easy Easter dinner.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8 lamb chops

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
03 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
04 - 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
05 - 1 red onion, cut into wedges

→ Seasonings & Marinades

06 - 3 tbsp olive oil
07 - 2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
08 - 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
09 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
10 - 1 lemon, zest and juice
11 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnish

12 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, carrot sticks, and red onion wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
03 - Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across the prepared sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to begin the cooking process.
04 - While vegetables roast, pat the lamb chops completely dry with paper towels. Rub the chops with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining minced garlic, additional rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper on both sides.
05 - Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Arrange the seasoned lamb chops and trimmed asparagus among the partially roasted vegetables, arranging them in a single layer.
06 - Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 18-20 minutes. Flip the lamb chops halfway through cooking. Continue until lamb reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
07 - Transfer the sheet pan meal to a serving platter or serve directly from the pan. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional lemon wedges if desired.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan so you spend more time with family and less at the sink
  • The lamb and vegetables develop these incredible roasted flavors while sharing the same space
  • It looks impressive on the table but comes together with minimal effort
02 -
  • The vegetables need that initial 20 minute head start or they will still be hard when the lamb is done
  • Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven for juicier meat
  • A hot oven is non negotiable here because it creates those beautifully caramelized edges
03 -
  • Pat the lamb completely dry before seasoning for better browning
  • Space everything evenly on the pan so pieces roast instead of steam
