- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Fresh garlic, chopped, to taste

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place herbs, seasonings, and olive oil in a work bowl and mix until well-combined, then spread evenly over leg of lamb. Place lamb into a roasting pan.
Roast on the center rack for about 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the lamb reads:

- 150–155°F for medium-well

Remove lamb from the oven and let rest approximately 20 minutes.
