Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Sear the diced lamb in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, sauté the onions, garlic, celery, and carrots for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add these to the slow cooker.
To the slow cooker, add cubed sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes, stock, tomato paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
Stir everything in the slow cooker to combine. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Before serving, remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve the casserole hot.
