Start by scoring the fat on the lamb chops to help it render out quickly, allowing the lamb to cook without added oil.
Season the lamb chops generously with sea salt and black pepper, rubbing the seasoning well into the skin and the scored fat.
Shape the chops back into their original rack form, keeping the skin intact for a crispy finish, and set them aside for cooking.
Clean the baby carrots by trimming off about one centimeter from the tops. Cut larger carrots in half to shorten cooking time.
Place the lamb chops in a pan to release their fat. Add the carrots to the pan and cook them directly in the rendered lamb fat.
Prepare the garlic by crushing the cloves gently in their skins to release flavor while keeping them protected during cooking, then add them to the pan.
Cut two oranges in half. From one orange, remove only the orange-colored zest, avoiding the bitter white pith, and add the zest to the pan.
Once the carrots are nearly tender and the lamb skin is crisping up, turn the chops onto their sides and sear briefly for an even crust.
Add the orange zest to the pan along with fresh thyme. The thyme will start to crackle and release its aroma as it cooks in the lamb fat.
Pour the juice of three oranges into the pan and let it reduce for a few seconds until it forms a shiny glaze.
