- 1 lb ground beef or lamb
- 1 medium onion finely chopped (or 1 tsp onion powder)
- 2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large potatoes cut into wedges
- 4 bell peppers cut into strips
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon cut into wedges (optional)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, onion or onion powder, minced garlic or garlic powder, fresh parsley, and all the spices. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into oval-shaped meatballs and place on a baking sheet with about an inch of space in between.
On another baking sheet, toss the potato wedges and bell pepper strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also separate the vegetables onto their own baking sheets depending on the amount.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the kofta are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve with a fresh garden salad.
