Sheet Pan Kebabs might be the ULTIMATE easy fakeaway! A juicy, meaty, mouthwatering street food style kebab, in tray bake form. Simple and delicious.

I am always one for trying a new viral social media recipe trend. Some work, some don’t, but OH MY… this Sheet Pan Kebab has got to be on my new weekend rota.

I think this might be my new favourite fakeaway. Not only is it delicious, it’s also so unbelievably simple (and I thought my Slow Cooker Doner Kebab was easy!)

I can see why this trend has taken off. I for one need more recipes like this in my life, especially on weeknights when I want to make something tasty that’s quick with minimal effort.

What is a Sheet Pan Kebab?

You could also call it a tray bake kebab because basically we cook a marinated meat mixture that we press onto an oven tray (or sheet pan).

It comes out of the oven in a juicy, moist and flavourful slice that we can then add to flatbreads or pittas (with plenty of salad and yoghurt dressing.)

I am using beef mince for my version of this viral dish that is understandably going down a storm on the internet (although you could use lamb or chicken mince instead if you prefer.) I have also simplified it so all of the flavouring comes from herbs and spices (so no need for fresh ingredients or chopping, other than our side salad.)

I first saw this on style recipe on Kausar’s instagram and knew I had to try it. I’ve put my own little spin on it (she doesn’t use beef mince, and a few other swaps) but her version is also absolutely delicious!


Sheet Pan Kebab Ingredients

The ingredients for making a sheet pan kebab laid out in a white surface.
  • Beef mince – 5% fat works best for this recipe. You could also use a different meat if you like, like chicken or lamb.
  • Spices – Onion granules, garlic granules, ground cumin, paprika and dried oregano.
  • Olive oil and sea salt and black pepper 
  • To serve – Red onion, lemon, flatbreads, cucumber and parsley.
  • For the garlic yoghurt – Greek yoghurt, garlic cloves and salt and pepper. Or make some homemade Tzatziki.

Leftovers

In the fridge The cooked kebabs will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. They are delicious cold too, so are perfect for bonus lunches!

In the freezer The meat will freeze well if the mince hasn’t already been frozen and defrosted. Make sure you thoroughly defrost it before reheating.

Recipe Tip

You could add some chilli flakes or squeeze over a little hot sauce before serving if you’d like some extra spice in this. You could also add any of your favourite spices to the mince mixture – it’s easily customisable.

Sheet Pan Kebabs

What’s better than a meaty, flavour packed, juicy kebab at the weekend? Answer: A homemade healthy one that is super simple to prep and takes 15 minutes to cook! These Sheet Pan Kebabs could just be one of your new fakeaway favourites.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients 

  • 1 kg (2.2 lb) Beef mince, 5% fat works best for this
  • 1 tbsp Onion granules
  • 1 tbsp Garlic granules
  • 2 tbsp Ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

To serve:

  • 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Lemon, Juice only
  • 6 Flatbreads
  • 1/2 Cucumber, Sliced
  • 15 g (0.5 oz) Parsley, Finely chopped

For the garlic yoghurt:

  • 200 g (7 oz) Greek yoghurt
  • 2 Garlic cloves, Crushed
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 200℃/390F fan, 220℃/430F / Gas mark 7.
  • Place all the kebab ingredients in a bowl, apart from the oil, with a good pinch of salt and pepper, and mix together well with clean hands.
  • Line a large baking tray with baking parchment, brush the oil on and press the mince mix out evenly into a large rectangle.
  • Use a knife or a dough scraper to cut the rectangle into long 3cm wide strips, then indent the mince all over with shallow lines. This helps the kebabs cook evenly.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes until the meat is brown and cooked through. (If you find your mince has released a lot of liquid, carefully drain this off with 5 minutes to go.)
  • While the kebabs are cooking, toss the sliced onion with the juice of half the lemon and a pinch of salt. Set to one side to make quick pickled onions.
  • Stir the yoghurt and garlic cloves together and season to taste.
  • Serve the kebabs on flatbreads with the yoghurt, cucumber, pickled onions and a final scattering of parsley.
