- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups seasonal vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers), chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Lamb Chops: Rub the herb mixture generously over both sides of the lamb chops.
- Roast the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
