Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until tender. While the carrot is cooking, rub the lamb with the remaining cumin. Season with pepper and spray lightly with olive oil spray. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half the lamb and cook for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 3 minutes to rest. Repeat with remaining lamb.
