1 pound ground meat (beef, chicken, turkey, or lamb) The star of the show! You can switch it out depending on what your family prefers.
1/4 cup chopped onion Brings wonderful flavor and moisture.
2 cloves garlic, minced Adds depth to the skewers.
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped Elevates the dish with fresh herbs.
1 teaspoon cumin Gives the skewers a warm spice twist.
1 teaspoon paprika Adds color and a sweet smokiness.
to taste salt and pepper Simple but essential.
skewers If using wooden ones, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.

Start by prepping your ingredients; lay everything out on your countertop.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Mix by hand to incorporate everything evenly.
Taste a small amount of the mix (if comfortable) and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Form the mixture into small sausage shapes, about the thickness of a hot dog.
Carefully thread the shaped meat onto your skewers, spacing them out for even cooking.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place the skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd them.
Cook the skewers for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the skewers and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

For a crispier outside, lightly spray the skewers with cooking oil before air frying. Serve with a creamy yogurt sauce or a light tahini dip.
