What Herbs go well with Lamb?
My favorite way to create a lamb rack is with a marinade of olive oil, lemon, fresh rosemary, garlic and thyme.
But honestly, I like lamb pretty much any way I’ve tried it!
- Dijon, lemon, garlic and thyme
- salt, pepper and garlic
- parsley, rosemary and thyme

What sides go nicely with rack of lamb when doing keto or low carb? 
- There’s something about asparagus which makes me think I want lamb and vice versa!
- Easter is the ideal time to make lamb because so many spring veggies are ready
- Roast some veggies right in the pan! Think cherry tomatoes, asparagus, tender young zucchini and radishes. It is easy to make this a one pan sheet pan dinner!
- Pure comfort food when you add pureed cauliflower (see my cauli mash recipe )

With this recipe, I roasted asparagus right in the sheet pan with the lamb racks. And I used lemon, rosemary, garlic, thyme and olive oil on the lamb.
