Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss the halved potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and half the salt and pepper. Arrange on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the lamb chops with half the remaining salt and pepper, then rub with 2 tablespoons of olive oil mixed with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano.

- Continue roasting for 15 minutes, then add the seasoned lamb chops to the pan. Roast for an additional 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
- Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh mint before serving. This impressive meal brings together the bold flavors of Mediterranean lamb with perfectly roasted vegetables.
