Melt-in-Your-Mouth Rosemary Garlic Honey Glazed Lamb Shoulder Roast

A tender, flavorful lamb shoulder roast coated with a rosemary garlic honey glaze that melts in your mouth.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lb lamb shoulder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to form a paste.
  3. Pat the lamb shoulder dry with paper towels and rub the paste all over the meat.
  4. Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting pan and pour the chicken broth around the meat (not over the top).
  5. Cover tightly with foil or a lid and roast for 3 hours, until fork-tender.
  6. Remove the cover, drizzle the honey over the lamb, and increase oven temperature to 425°F (218°C).
  7. Roast uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the glaze is sticky and browned.
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the lamb with the paste overnight in the refrigerator.
