Sheet-Pan Moroccan Rack of Lamb with Roasted Root Vegetables & Lemon Yogurt

Roasted until blushing-pink and crusted with warm spices, this rack of lamb brings cozy Moroccan flavors to your table. Nestled on a bed of caramelized root vegetables and finished with a bright lemon-yogurt sauce, it’s elegant yet weeknight-easy.

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth® Natural Rack of Lamb, 4 rib (about 1 lb) 1 rack (about 1 lb) $19.49 on sale (reg. $23.99)
  • Carrots 2 medium, cut in 1-inch chunks
  • Parsnips (or extra carrots/potatoes) 2 small, cut in 1-inch chunks
  • Yukon Gold potatoes 2 medium, 1-inch chunks
  • Red onion 1 small, cut into wedges
  • Olive oil 3 tbsp, divided
  • Garlic 3 cloves, minced
  • Ground cumin 1 tsp
  • Ground coriander 1 tsp
  • Smoked paprika 1 tsp
  • Ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp
  • Kosher salt & black pepper 1 1/4 tsp salt total + pepper to taste
  • Plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup
  • Lemon 1 (zest + 1 tbsp juice)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro 2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450°F. Toss carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Spread on a large sheet pan and roast 15 minutes.
  2. Mix spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon) with 3/4 tsp salt. Pat lamb dry; rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining garlic, and spice mix.
  3. Push vegetables to the sides; place lamb, fat side up, in the center. Roast 18–22 minutes to 125–130°F for medium-rare (or to preference). Optional: broil 1–2 minutes to deepen crust.
  4. Rest lamb 8–10 minutes on a board. Meanwhile, stir yogurt with lemon zest and 1 tbsp juice; season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Slice lamb into chops. Toss vegetables with chopped herbs. Serve chops over roasted roots with lemon-yogurt spooned alongside.

Health notes: Approx. 780–860 kcal per serving. Nutrient-dense protein with fiber-rich roasted roots; moderate saturated fat—use less oil/yogurt to lighten.

Drink pairing: Côtes du Rhône or Syrah; non-alcoholic: mint tea with lemon.

Grilled Bison Ribeye with Cranberry-Shallot Sauce, Smashed Potatoes & Charred Brussels Sprouts

Lean, deeply flavorful bison gets a quick sear and a tangy cranberry-shallot sauce. Smashed potatoes and charred Brussels sprouts round out this cozy, Alaska-in-November plate.

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth™ Natural Bison Ribeye Steak, 8 oz each 2 steaks (about 1 lb total) $17.49 each on sale (reg. $18.99)
  • Yukon Gold potatoes 3 medium, halved
  • Brussels sprouts 10 oz, halved
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp, divided
  • Butter 2 tbsp, divided
  • Shallot 1, finely chopped
  • Fresh cranberries (or frozen) 1/2 cup
  • Low-sodium broth (beef or chicken) 1/2 cup
  • Red wine (or 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar + 2 tbsp water) 1/4 cup
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh thyme (optional) 2 sprigs
  • Kosher salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Boil until tender, 12–15 minutes; keep hot.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high (or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high). Toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat steaks dry; season generously with salt and pepper and lightly oil.
  4. Grill/sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side to 125–130°F for medium-rare (bison cooks fast). Transfer to a plate to rest 8 minutes.
  5. Make sauce: in a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Sauté shallot 1–2 minutes. Add cranberries; cook until they start to burst. Deglaze with red wine (or balsamic + water), scraping browned bits; add broth and thyme. Simmer 3–5 minutes until syrupy. Whisk in remaining 1 tbsp butter; season to taste.
  6. Char sprouts: grill in a basket 6–8 minutes, tossing, or pan-sear 5–7 minutes until browned and just tender. Splash with a little vinegar or broth to brighten, if desired.
  7. Drain potatoes. Smash with garlic, a splash of cooking water, 1 tbsp olive oil (or extra butter), salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve steaks topped with cranberry-shallot sauce alongside smashed potatoes and charred Brussels sprouts.

Health notes: Approx. 850–950 kcal per serving. Bison is leaner than beef; two veg sides add fiber. Keep butter moderate for a lighter plate.

Drink pairing: Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon; beer: American amber ale.
