These Sheet Pan Kebabs are a quick and flavorful meal featuring spiced minced beef cooked easily in the oven. Perfect for weeknight dinners, the kebabs are seasoned with a blend of smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, and herbs, then baked on a sheet pan for a simple yet delicious dish. Serve them in warm flatbreads topped with fresh sliced red onion, tangy feta, cherry tomatoes, and your choice of hot sauce and creamy Greek yogurt or mayonnaise for a vibrant and satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings (2 kebab strips per person)

Ingredients

Kebab Mixture

  • 500 g (1.1 lbs) minced (ground) beef (preferably 5% fat for a lighter option)
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried parsley or 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • Spray oil for greasing

To Serve

  • 4 flatbreads
  • Sliced red onion
  • Crumbled feta cheese
  • Cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • Hot sauce
  • Greek yogurt or mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) fan-assisted to heat while you prepare the kebab mixture.
  2. Mix the kebab ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the minced beef, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, dried oregano, and parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Prepare the sheet pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the surface lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Shape the kebabs: Transfer the meat mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Place a second sheet of parchment or greaseproof paper on top. Use a spatula or the bottom of another tray to flatten the meat to about ½ inch thick.
  5. Score the kebabs: Remove the top layer of parchment. Using a blunt knife or bench scraper, gently score the meat into 8 rectangular strips, cutting about halfway through. You can also add crosshatch lines on each strip if desired for added texture.
  6. Bake the kebabs: Place the tray in the preheated oven and cook for 12-15 minutes until the meat is browned and fully cooked through. Optionally, use the grill (broil) function for the last 5 minutes to get a charred top.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and fully slice through the scored lines to separate the kebabs. Note that the meat will shrink and liquid will be present on the tray—this is normal. Serve 2 kebab strips per person.
  8. Assemble and garnish: Add the kebabs to warm flatbreads along with sliced red onion, crumbled feta, chopped cherry tomatoes, and drizzle with hot sauce and Greek yogurt or mayonnaise for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Using lean beef (around 5% fat) keeps the kebabs lighter but for richer flavor, beef with up to 12% fat can be used.
  • Spray oil helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking on the sheet pan.
  • Scoring the meat before baking helps create individual kebab strips and adds texture.
  • Optional grilling at the end enhances browning and adds a slight char flavor.
  • Leftover kebabs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace flatbreads with gluten-free wraps or serve with salad.
