I came up with these air fryer beef kofta kabobs when I had a craving for kofta but it was pouring down rain. It is so easy to prepare and the air fryer gives it a nice grill-like char. If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before adding the meat.

Beef Kofta Kabobs:

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 (6-inch) skewers

Tzatziki:

1 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry with paper towels
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Place ground beef, onion, parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
Divide mixture into 8 portions and form into oval-shaped patties around the skewers, making sure the point of the skewer is covered. Place kabobs on a plate and place in the refrigerator.
Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C).
Meanwhile, stir yogurt, cucumber, 1 clove minced garlic, dill, and Kosher salt together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Place 4 kabobs in the basket of the air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes. Transfer kabobs to a plate. Repeat with remaining kabobs. Serve with tzatziki sauce.
