Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut into long batons. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
- Toss the carrots, parsnips, and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a sheet pan for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once, until caramelized and tender.
- Meanwhile, season the lamb loin chops with salt, pepper, and half the chopped rosemary.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the garlic, remaining rosemary, butter, and a small squeeze of lemon juice to the skillet. Spoon the aromatic butter over the lamb for 30 seconds.
