Trim the leg of lamb, then rub it all over with salt, pepper, and finely chopped garlic.
Place the rosemary sprigs on top of the lamb, then drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the leg of lamb on all sides for 3-4 minutes, until nicely browned.
Transfer the leg of lamb to a preheated oven and roast at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the meat is tender and juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired doneness.
During roasting, baste the lamb with its own juices to keep it moist.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before carving, allowing the juices to redistribute and the meat to become even more succulent.
Serve the roast leg of lamb with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, and a glass of red wine.
