Instructions

Take the leg of lamb out of the refrigerator. Pat the lamb dry and score the lamb by making ½-inch deep incisions all over the leg. This will allow the seasonings to penetrate the meat.
Mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Place the leg of lamb in a large roasting pan, fat side facing up. Spread the dry rub evenly over the lamb. Rub thoroughly into the scored cuts. Let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position the oven rack in the middle.
Place the pan on the rack in the oven. Turn the oven down to 350°F (180°C). Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours for medium doneness. Check the internal temperature using an instant-read thermometer. Remove the lamb from the oven when the internal temperature registers 140°F. (The temperature will continue to rise to around 145°F)
Let it rest for about 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
