Indulge in air-fried lamb kofta sliders - juicy, flavorful, and topped with melty feta and refreshing mint yogurt sauce. Crazy good eats await!
Ingredients
- • ground lamb: 1 pound
- • onion, finely chopped: 1 small
- • garlic cloves, minced: 3
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • feta cheese, sliced: 4 ounces
- • slider buns: 8
- • Greek yogurt: 1 cup
- • fresh mint leaves, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- 3 Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small patty. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.
- 4 Spray the air fryer basket with a light coat of olive oil. Place the lamb patties in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are browned on the outside and cooked through.
- 5 While the patties cook, prepare the mint yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- 6 When the lamb patties are done, top each with a slice of feta cheese and return to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese begins to melt.
- 7 Assemble the sliders by placing each lamb patty with melted feta on a slider bun. Top with a generous spoonful of mint yogurt sauce before closing with the top bun.
Serving Suggestions
- • For an unforgettable meal, serve these lamb kofta sliders with a side of air-fried sweet potato fries or crispy onion rings. The sweetness of the fries pairs beautifully with the savory lamb, while the onion rings add extra crunch. To complement the rich flavors, consider a light and refreshing salad with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and a simple olive oil and lemon dressing. For drinks, a chilled glass of mint lemonade or a crisp, dry white wine will enhance the meal's Mediterranean vibe.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sliders back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Avoid microwaving to maintain the crispy texture and juicy interior.
