Marinated with a blend of cumin, chilli, and spices, these skewers are ready in just minutes thanks to the trusty air fryer. The air fryer ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the lamb juicy inside, all without the extra oil. Ideal for busy weeknights or weekend grilling, these cumin lamb skewers are a healthy, low-carb option packed with protein and spice.

What spices go well with lamb skewers?
Cumin, chilli flakes, coriander, and paprika are popular spices for lamb skewers. Adjust the spice level to your preference
