Ingredients

1 (5 1/2 pound) boneless leg of lamb, tied in netting
20 cloves garlic, peeled, or more to taste
garlic powder, or to taste
10 fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and gather all the necessary ingredients.
Make approximately 20 deep slits evenly around the boneless leg of lamb, being careful not to cut through the netting. Insert one garlic clove into each slit.
Generously rub garlic powder all over the lamb. Slice fresh rosemary sprigs and place them under the netting, distributing them evenly around the lamb. Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan.
Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for approximately 2 to 2 ½ hours, or until it reaches medium doneness and is pink and juicy inside. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should read 130°F (54°C).
Take the lamb out of the oven and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) before carving and serving.
