Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb ground lamb
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
- 3Mix the meat mixture thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed; this helps the kefta hold together during baking.
- 4With damp hands, shape the mixture into uniform oval or sausage‑shaped logs, about 4‑5 cm (1½ in) long, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared sheet pan.
- 5Drizzle the olive oil over the kefta logs and lightly toss to coat; this promotes browning and adds flavor.
- 6Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, then turn the kefta over to ensure even caramelization.
- 7Continue baking for another 10‑12 minutes, or until the kefta are nicely browned on the outside and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 160°F).
- 8Remove the pan from the oven and let the kefta rest for 3‑5 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute.
- 9Serve the sheet‑pan kefta hot, optionally with flatbread, rice, a fresh herb salad, or a yogurt‑mint sauce.
- 10Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
