Notes
Roast longer for crispier edges or reduce cooking slightly for softer juicy texture. Freeze cooled lamb slices inside airtight containers for easier meal prep later. Slice carefully using a sharp knife for cleaner serving. Customize flavor using smoked paprika or lemon zest. Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days and reheat gently.
