Everything you need to know about this recipe
Kebab rolls trace back to Ottoman street food where seasoned minced meat was grilled on skewers and later wrapped in flatbread for a portable meal. The modern air‑fryer version adapts the traditional grilling technique while keeping the communal, handheld nature of Mediterranean street fare.
In Turkey, the meat is often spiced with sumac and served in lavash; in Greece, lamb with oregano is wrapped in pita; in Lebanon, beef is mixed with pine nuts and wrapped in thin flatbread. Each region tweaks the spice blend and accompanying veggies.
Traditionally the kebab is served hot off the grill, sliced and placed inside a soft flatbread with fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and a drizzle of yogurt‑based sauce, eaten by hand as a quick lunch or snack.
Kebab rolls are popular at street festivals, family picnics, and casual gatherings. They’re also a staple at Ramadan iftars and summer barbecues because they’re easy to eat on the go.
Using an air fryer gives a crisp exterior without a grill, while the addition of roasted garlic‑infused yogurt‑mayonnaise sauce adds a creamy tang that balances the smoky spices. The fresh basil from the indoor garden adds a bright herb note not always found in traditional recipes.
Common errors include over‑mixing the meat, which makes it tough, rolling the meat too thick which prevents even cooking, and not pre‑heating the air fryer, leading to uneven crispness. Also, forgetting to add the roasted garlic to the sauce leaves it lacking depth.
A thin, uniform slab ensures the meat cooks quickly and stays juicy inside while the air fryer creates a golden crust similar to a grill’s sear. This method is faster, requires less outdoor space, and produces consistent results at home.
Yes. Shape the meat into logs, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before air‑frying. The sauce can be prepared up to a day ahead and kept refrigerated; re‑stir before serving.
The meat should be deep golden‑brown on the outside, slightly crisp, while the interior remains pink‑red and juicy. The roasted vegetables will be softened and lightly caramelized, and the garlic should be soft and golden inside the foil.
