This Middle-Eastern inspired dish is enhanced with the flavours of za’tar and sumac which provide a spicy and lemony crusting on the lamb.

Ingredients

Orange sweet potato (kumara)

500 g, thickly sliced

Zucchini

6 medium, cut into chunks

Baby carrot

12 individual, (2 bunches, trimmed)

Garlic

6 clove(s), unpeeled

Ground sumac

1 tsp

Lamb Frenched cutlet or rack, raw

575 g, (buy 18 x 40g cutlets), fat trimmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Arrange the sweet potato, zucchini, carrot and garlic on a large baking tray. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with half the oil. Toss to coat. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and tender.
