Ingredients
🐓 Ground chicken: I like ground chicken for a lighter version, but any ground meat will work.
🌶️ Bell peppers: Red bell peppers add a sweet, earthy kick.
🧅 Shallots: These tiny bulbs pack in the flavor.
🧄 Garlic cloves: Makes this dish aromatic and bold.
🌿 Parsley: Provides a fresh hint of brightness.
🧂 Kosher salt: Properly seasons the meat, making it savory and irresistible.
⚫️ Pepper: Balances the flavors with a peppery finish.
🫙 Paprika: Adds a naturally sweet and smoky flavor.
🌿 Dried oregano: Deepens the flavor with herby goodness.
🫒 Oil (for the sheet pan): Keeps the kebabs from sticking to the pan.
Nonna’s Tip 💡
Use a cheesecloth to squeeze out the excess moisture from the veggie puree. This prevents the kebabs from steaming in the oven, keeping them crispy and flavorful.
