Baked Kofta Kabab – Flavorful Middle Eastern Kebabs Made Easy

If you love the bold, aromatic flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine but want a healthier cooking method, this Baked Kofta Kabab Recipe is your go-to option. Traditionally grilled or pan-fried, these juicy ground meat skewers are just as delicious when baked in the oven—with less mess and oil!

Made with a flavorful mix of ground beef or lamb, herbs, garlic, onion, and warming spices, these kababs are perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or a festive family feast.

Ingredients (Makes 8–10 kababs):

  • 500g (1 lb) ground beef or lamb (or a mix)
  • 1 small onion, finely grated or minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional for warmth)
  • ½ tsp chili flakes or cayenne (optional for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
  • Skewers (if using)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly oil it.

2. Mix the ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine ground meat, onion, garlic, herbs, and spices. Mix well with clean hands or a spoon until fully combined.

3. Shape the kababs:
Divide the mixture into 8–10 portions. Shape each portion around a skewer or into oval-shaped patties.

4. Bake the kababs:
Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through.

5. Serve hot:
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with pita bread, salad, or rice and your favorite sauces like tzatziki, tahini, or garlic yogurt.

Why You’ll Love These Baked Kofta Kababs:

Tips & Variations:

  • Grill option: You can also cook these on an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan

FAQs:

Q: Can I make kofta kababs ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can shape and refrigerate them up to 24 hours in advance, or freeze for longer storage.

Q: Can I skip the skewers?
A: Definitely. Just shape them into oval patties and bake directly on the tray.
