Parsley a hand full (about 1/2 a bunch)

1. Preheat your oven to 425°
2. In a food processor mince the onion, garlic, jalapeños, bell pepper and parsley. Then add the mixture to the ground beef.
3. Next add the pepper paste and all the seasonings, give it a good mix until everything is well combined.
4. Next take about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture depending on the size of kebab you want to make and shape it into little footballs (make sure you don’t make them too thin or too small because they will dry out in the oven)
5. Once all shaped put them in a tray lined with parchment paper, add some tomato all around and into the oven they go for 20 minutes. You can broil them for that last minute to give them that chard look. Once out of the oven serve them with rice, in a pita wrap or with a salad.

Oven baked kofta kebabs are a delightful dish that brings the flavors of the grill right into your kitchen. This recipe allows you to create juicy, tender kebabs baked perfectly in the oven, making it suitable for colder months when outdoor grilling isn't an option. Using 88% lean ground beef ensures a rich flavor without excessive grease, and the addition of fresh ingredients like onion, garlic, and bell peppers creates a vibrant taste profile. For the best flavor, ensure that the vegetables are minced finely using a food processor; this method combines them seamlessly with the meat, adding moisture and depth to each kebab. The blend of spices including cumin, paprika, and coriander not only enhances the kebabs but also elevates them with a Middle Eastern flair. After shaping the mixture into football-like kebabs, baking them on parchment paper helps achieve that perfect char while keeping them moist. Broiling them for a minute at the end adds an appealing crispness to the outside. Serve these kebabs with sides like rice, pita bread, or a fresh salad to enjoy a complete meal. This simple yet delicious recipe is perfect for busy weeknight dinners, and you can easily adjust the spice levels and ingredients to suit your family's taste preferences.
