Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together ground meat, onion, bell pepper, parsley, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, mint, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt until well combined.
  3. Divide the dough into 6 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin 10-inch disk. Place on the baking sheet, spread the meat mixture thinly over the top of each disk, leaving a small border around the edges of each lahmajun.
  4. Place the prepared lahmajun on the baking sheets and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the meat is cooked through.
  5. Serve hot, optionally with a squeeze of lemon for added zest.
