Drain leg of lamb and season with salt and pepper. Place marinade with remaining thyme sprigs into a large roasting pan, top with meat.

Baste meat with cooking juices occasionally and turn meat once halfway through cooking. Remove pan from the oven and remove leg from the oven, place into another pan and pet rest in turned-off oven for about 15 minutes. Strain sauce through a sieve. Slice meat and arrange on plates, drizzle with some sauce and serve the rest of sauce separately. If desired, serve lamb with salad or potatoes.
