Lamb shanks - any good reason why I can’t just slow roast them?

I don’t want to casserole or braise them, and CBA with any of the exotic recipes I’ve found - too many ingredients I’d have to go and buy. Just hankering after a bog standard roast with roast potatoes, gravy and mint sauce. All the other joints were much too big (legs at ££££) or too fatty for me (shoulder.).
They are 2 quite big ones, so TBH not far off the size of a small half leg.

I have a pot with a dimpled lid which slow roasts really well. You can use the disposable roasting bags but they aren't very eco-friendly. A Pyrex dish with a lid would be just as effective.
