- Season the lamb: Season the lamb racks generously with salt and pepper.
- Prepare herb mixture: In a small bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, and olive oil to make a paste. Rub this mixture all over the lamb.
- Make breadcrumb crust: Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Brush lamb racks with Dijon mustard, then press breadcrumb mixture onto the surface.
