Rotisserie Rosemary Crusted Lamb

Rotisserie Rosemary Crusted Lamb sliced and served on a platter

It’s the time of year where kids start searching the lawn for eggs, bunnies visit homes to drop off candy, and families sit around the table for a feast. This rack of lamb recipe will 100% be a hit at the table this year.

This Easter, I’ll be making one of my favorite traditional dishes: Rosemary Crusted Lamb. It’s always an impressive and delicious dish to serve. Letting the kids watch the lamb on the rotisserie is also a great way to keep them distracted while you hide Easter eggs.

The other reason I use the rotisserie is because of the self-basting that happens during the process (which you’ll see in my video below). If you don’t have a rotisserie you can absolutely use your gas or charcoal grill, employing indirect heat to roast the lamb. I outlined this technique in my book, Grillseeker: Basic Training for Everyday Grilling.

My homemade rosemary salt and a little olive oil are all you need to make this dish one of the best lamb ever.

Step 3: Place spit on rotisserie with a foil-covered drip pan under it to collect any drippings.

Step 4: Close lid and allow to cook for 20-25 minutes with your grill set to high, or until the internal temperature is to your liking. I prefer medium rare lamb so I serve it at 128°F-130°F.

Step 5: Remove from heat. Let rest for five minutes before slicing and serving.
