• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)

• For the Avocado Sauce:
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 tsp lime juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Form the mixture into oval-shaped kebabs and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
4. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned.

Preparing the Avocado Sauce

1. While the kebabs are baking, prepare the avocado sauce. In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados using a fork until smooth.
2. Add lime juice, salt, Greek yogurt, and minced garlic to the mashed avocados. Mix until well combined.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serving Suggestions

Once the kebabs are done, serve them hot with the creamy avocado sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy with warm pita bread or your choice of sides.
