Prepare the lamb by cleaning and trimming excess fat.

Rub the lamb with a mixture of salt, black pepper, garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika.

Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the lamb, ensuring it's well coated.

Stuff the cavity with fresh herbs, onions, and garlic.

Place the lamb on a spit or a large roasting pan.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roast the lamb for several hours, basting occasionally with its juices.

Add chopped carrots and potatoes around the lamb halfway through cooking.

Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Carve the lamb and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Garnish with additional fresh herbs before serving.
