# Steps:

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and position rack in the center. Line a sturdy roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack inside.

Ensure lamb racks are frenched. Arrange the racks into a crown shape by joining the ends together and tying the base with kitchen twine.

In a bowl, combine rosemary, thyme, parsley, and crushed garlic. Optional: add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or honey for additional flavor.

Generously season lamb crown with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Coat with prepared herb mixture evenly and let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.

Pour 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth into the roasting pan. Place lamb crown onto the rack and roast for approximately 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium-rare. Baste halfway through.

Remove lamb from oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes. Carve between the bones and serve alongside roasted vegetables or fresh salad.
