#### Step 1: Prepare the Lamb
1. Preheat your oven to **325°F (165°C)**.
2. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, lemon zest, and juice.
3. Rub the lamb generously with the mixture, ensuring it’s coated on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
#### Step 2: Arrange the Vegetables (Optional)
1. Toss the potatoes, carrots, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Arrange the vegetables in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the lamb on a rack above the vegetables or directly on top if you prefer.
#### Step 3: Roast the Lamb
1. Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for **1.5-2 hours** (about 20-25 minutes per pound) or until the internal temperature reaches:
- **125°F (52°C)** for medium-rare
- **135°F (57°C)** for medium
2. Baste the lamb with the pan juices every 30 minutes for extra flavor.
#### Step 4: Rest the Lamb
1. Remove the lamb from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for **15-20 minutes**. This allows the juices to redistribute.
#### Step 5: Serve
1. Slice the lamb into thin pieces and serve with roasted vegetables and your favorite sides, such as mint sauce or a fresh salad.
