Method
Preheat the oven to 200C.
Rub lamb roast with a dash of oil and season with freshly ground black pepper.
Set aside to allow it to come to room temperature.
Place a large shallow roasting dish in the oven to heat.
Place the potato and kumara pieces in a large saucepan and just cover with lightly salted water.
Cover and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Drain well.
In a large bowl toss together the potatoes, kumara, pumpkin and carrots with the oil.
Grind over black pepper and a little salt and toss well so all the vegetables are coated in oil and seasoning.
Place the vegetables in a single layer in the pre-heated roasting dish with the lemon wedges making space in the centre of the roasting dish and place in the lamb roast.
Place in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and place the lamb on a warmed plate.
Sprinkle with salt, cover loosely with foil and a clean tea towel and leave to rest.
Return vegetables to the oven to roast for a further 10 minutes until tender and golden.
Remove vegetables and transfer to a warmed serving platter and serve immediately with slices of roast lamb and seasonal greens.
