Herb‑Crusted Rack of Lamb with Roasted Delicata Squash & Brussels Sprouts

A tender, rosy rack of lamb gets a garlicky rosemary–Dijon crust and roasts alongside caramelized delicata squash and Brussels sprouts. Elegant, fast, and perfect for a cozy Northwest fall evening.

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth Natural Rack of Lamb, 4 rib (about 1 lb) 1 rack 18.49 (sale; was 23.99)
  • Delicata squash 1 small (about 1 lb), seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons
  • Brussels sprouts 12 oz, trimmed and halved
  • Garlic 3 cloves, minced
  • Fresh rosemary 2 tsp finely chopped
  • Dijon mustard 1 tbsp
  • Lemon zest 1 tsp
  • Olive oil 3 tbsp, divided
  • Kosher salt & black pepper To taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Toss squash and Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper. Spread on pan and roast 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, pat lamb dry and season all over with 3/4 tsp salt and pepper. Mix garlic, rosemary, Dijon, lemon zest, and 1 tbsp olive oil into a paste; rub over the meaty side of the rack.
  3. Pull the pan, push veggies to the sides, and set lamb (fat side up) in the center. Roast 18–22 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part hits 125–130°F for medium-rare.
  4. Rest lamb 8–10 minutes (veggies can stay in the turned-off oven to keep warm).
  5. Slice between ribs into chops and serve with the roasted squash and sprouts. Spoon any pan juices over the lamb.

Health notes: Approx. 720 kcal per serving. High in protein and iron; includes two seasonal vegetables. Moderate saturated fat—balance with portion control and plenty of veggies.

Drink pairing: WA Syrah or a bold Washington Cabernet Sauvignon.
