Take the lamb out of the fridge approximately 1 hour before cooking to allow it to come closer to room temperature. Doing this will help the lamb cook more quickly in the oven, resulting in juicier meat
Preheat the oven to 220° C (430° F).
With a small knife, make several incisions in the lamb and insert peeled garlic cloves along with a few sprigs of rosemary into the cuts.
Generously season the leg of lamb with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then rub it with olive oil. Finally, place the lamb on a wire rack positioned over a tray.
After placing the tray in the preheated oven, bake at the initial temperature for about 15 minutes before lowering the heat to 180° C (356° F).
Cook for an additional 65 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 60° C (140° F) for medium doneness.
Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

After cooking, let the lamb rest for at least 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
