Ingredients
Method
- Preheat broiler to high heat. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with oil or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add ground meat, egg, parsley, dried onion, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Mix together gently with hands to distribute the seasonings, being careful not to over-mix.
- Divide mixture into eighths and pat each into an oblong disc, about ½-inch thick. Place patties on prepared sheet pan, leaving space in between.
- Add tomatoes and onions to the open space around the meat patties and drizzle with olive oil. Season everything on the sheet pan with salt and pepper.
- Transfer sheet pan to the oven and broil for 8 minutes. Flip the meat patties over and broil for another 5 minutes.
- Serve in pita bread as sandwiches with feta cheese and cucumbers or alongside cooked basmati rice with mast-o-khiar if desired. Sprinkle everything with ground sumac for even more Persian flavor!

Notes
- To keep this meal vegan, use your favorite vegan ground meat substitute (we like Beyond Meat) and omit the egg. Add a splash of water if the mixture feels dry.
