Prepare the lamb by cleaning and trimming excess fat.
Rub the lamb with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
Stuff the cavity with garlic, fresh herbs, and lemon slices.
Place the lamb on a spit or in a large roasting pan.
Roast the lamb over a fire or in an oven at high heat until the skin is crispy, about 3-4 hours.
Baste the lamb occasionally with olive oil to keep it moist.
Once cooked, let the lamb rest for 30 minutes before carving.
Serve with grilled vegetables, bread, and tahini sauce.
