Mediterranean Diet Friendly Rosemary-Garlic Beef Kofta Bites with Roasted Potato

Juicy kofta bites get their flavor from a generous mix of fresh rosemary, garlic, thyme, and parsley, seared until deeply browned and finished in the oven for a tender, fully cooked center every time. Alongside them, golden Yukon Gold potatoes roast in olive oil until crisp-edged and fork-tender, soaking up all that same herby, garlicky perfulme. Together they make a simple, satisfying platter built on lean protein, good olive oil, and a hearty dose of fresh herbs — exactly the kind of straightforward, ingredient-forward cooking this way of eating is all about. It's an easy weeknight dinner or a shareable spread for guests, and it comes together with just one skillet and one sheet pan. Scatter on extra parsley right before serving for a fresh, herbaceous finish, and dig in while the kofta are still warm and the potatoes are at their crispiest. This one earns a regular spot in a Mediterranean-style rotation.

2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp fine sea salt

For the kofta

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
¾ tsp fine sea salt
1 tbsp olive oil

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato pieces with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt on a large baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer with space between pieces. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and a fork slides in without resistance.
2
While the potatoes roast, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, rosemary, parsley, thyme, and 3/4 tsp salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed throughout the meat — do not overwork.
