Ingredients

Ground lamb 1 lb (454 g)
Kosher salt 1 teaspoon
Black pepper 1/2 teaspoon
Garlic powder 1 teaspoon
Onion powder 1/2 teaspoon
Dried oregano 1 teaspoon
Smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon
Crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon
Fresh parsley, finely chopped 2 tablespoons
Zucchini 1 medium (about 200 g), sliced into half moons
Red bell pepper 1 medium (about 120 g), diced
Baby spinach 2 cups (60 g)
Extra virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons, divided
Plain whole milk Greek yogurt 1/2 cup (120 g)
Fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon
Fresh dill or mint, finely chopped 1 tablespoon
Lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon, optional

Instructions

In a bowl, combine ground lamb, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Mix gently just until combined. Form into 4 equal patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. Lightly brush or spray the basket with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place patties in a single layer with space between them. Air fry at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping at the halfway point, until a [digital meat thermometer](https://rocktopgear.com/amazon) reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit in the center. This meets the USDA safe minimum for ground meats. Transfer to a plate.
While patties cook, toss zucchini and bell pepper with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Increase air fryer temperature to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the zucchini and bell pepper to the basket and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking once. Add the spinach for the final 1 to 2 minutes to wilt. Vegetables should be tender with light char.
Stir together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill or mint, lemon zest if using, and a small pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.
To serve, divide vegetables among 4 bowls, top each with a lamb patty, and spoon over the herby yogurt. Serve with extra lemon wedges if desired.
