Marinating the Lamb
- Finely grate 6 garlic cloves and pick the leaves from 6 fresh rosemary sprigs, then finely chop (4 to 6 tablespoons). In a medium bowl, add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper, and stir to combine.
Preparing the Lamb for Roasting
- Place 2 lamb racks on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the rosemary rub all over the lamb racks (about 1/4 cup each). Position the racks so the rib bones point down. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate covered for up to 12 hours; if refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting.
Roasting the Lamb
- After 30 minutes, arrange a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat the oven to 450?F.
- Roast the lamb for 15 minutes. Flip the racks and roast until the thickest part registers 130?F on an instant-read thermometer for medium-rare, about 10 minutes longer.
Resting and Serving
- Transfer the racks to a clean cutting board and let rest for at least 10 minutes. To carve, cut between the rib bones into individual chops. Lightly sprinkle with flaky salt if desired. Place on a serving platter and garnish with more fresh rosemary if desired.
