How to Make Moroccan Rack Of Lamb

  1. At least 1 hour before roasting, remove lamb racks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature.
  2. Trim any excess fat from the lamb racks.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Moroccan spice blend (or homemade mixture), and minced garlic.
  4. Generously spoon about one-third of the spice mixture onto the fat side of each lamb rack.
  5. Evenly spread the remaining spice mixture over the fat and meaty ends of the racks, and lightly coat the bone side.
  6. Place the coated lamb racks on a large, shallow baking sheet.
  7. Note: Bone ends may rest on the edges of the pan depending on size. Adjust rack placement as needed.
  8. Leave the coated lamb at room temperature for 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  9. (Optional) Lamb can be refrigerated, lightly covered, for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before roasting.
  10. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  11. Roast the lamb, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes for rare to medium-rare, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140-150°F (60-66°C) for medium-rare.
  12. Remove the lamb from the oven and transfer to a cutting board.
  13. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual chops.
