Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment.

- Season lamb rack all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place fat side up in the center of the sheet. Brush top with any extra Dijon if needed, then press the herb-panko crust onto the meat.
- Roast 22–26 minutes until lamb reaches 130°F for medium-rare (thicker racks may need a few more minutes). Stir vegetables once halfway through.
