- Place the rack of lamb on the prepared baking sheet, fat side up. Score the fat by making small shallow slits, 1 inch apart.
- Liberally spray both sides of the lamb with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Allow the meat to rest on the counter for about an hour and come to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roast the meat in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (and not touching the bone) reads 135 degrees F (medium-rare), about 25 minutes.
- Remove the lamb from the oven. Transfer it to a cutting board. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- To cut the rack into individual ribs, turn it upside down, locate where the bones are, and carefully cut between them using a sharp chef's knife. Serve immediately.

- Frenching is the technique of cutting meat away from the top of a rib or chop before cooking to expose part of the bone. Ask your butcher to trim and french the rack for you. If a butcher is unavailable, follow these steps for presentation-worthy chops: Remove the thick layer of fat from bone side of rack by pulling it away with your hands and using a thin sharp knife to cut through the end; discard. (Bits of lean meat within the fat layer can be frozen for soup.) Remove meat between the ribs to 1 to 2 inches of the eye of the meat by cutting down and up along the bones. Scrape remaining bits of meat from the bone.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Strip most of the surface fat from the lamb. (Your butcher may already have done this.) Cut between the ribs, almost down to the meaty eye. Divide each rack in half down the middle, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then insert a meat thermometer straight in from one end into the meatiest part. If it reads 125 degrees or more, remove the lamb immediately. If it reads 120 degrees or less, put the lamb back for about 5 minutes, no more. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes; this will give you medium- to medium-rare lamb on the outer ribs, medium rare-to-rare in the center. Cook a little longer for more doneness. Serve, separating the ribs, if desired, by cutting down straight through them.

HERB ROASTED RACK OF LAMB
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the herbs, peppercorns, cinnamon and bread crumbs in a bowl. Set aside.
- Completely coat the racks of lamb with the honey. Cover with a thick layer of the seasoned bread crumbs. Put the lamb on a rack over a roasting pan and roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the rack reads 125 degrees for rare meat, or 130 for medium rare, about 25 to 35 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right lamb rack. Look for a rack that is evenly marbled and has a good amount of meat on the bones.
- Prepare the lamb rack properly. Trim off any excess fat and silver skin from the lamb rack. You can also score the fat on the lamb rack to help it cook evenly.
- Season the lamb rack generously. Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the lamb rack, such as garlic, rosemary, thyme, and salt and pepper.
- Cook the lamb rack to your desired doneness. The lamb rack can be cooked in the oven, on the grill, or in a pan. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose and the thickness of the lamb rack.
- Let the lamb rack rest before carving. Once the lamb rack is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
