Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Cut the lamb shoulder into large chunks and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, and rosemary to create a marinade.
Add the lamb to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.
Peel and chop the potatoes and carrots into large pieces.
Slice the onions into wedges.
In a large roasting pan, layer the potatoes, carrots, and onions.
Place the marinated lamb on top of the vegetables.
Add bay leaves and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the lamb is tender.
Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to allow the lamb to brown.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Serve with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley on top.
