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

I,d pop them in a roasting bag and slow roast them ,then use the juices to make a fab gravy .The Beaty of roasting bags is you can see through them and keep the joint moist

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.
