2.In a small bowl, combine the coconut sugar, freshly cracked black pepper, and rock salt. Mix thoroughly until uniform.

7.Roast in the preheated 250°C oven for 15 to 20 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 55°C/130°F), or adjust time based on desired doneness.

8.Once cooked, immediately remove the lamb from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board.

9.Tent the lamb loosely with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for a minimum of 10 minutes before carving between the bones.
