Antep-style eggplant kebab is a Gaziantep dish made by cooking eggplant slices alongside seasoned ground meat, traditionally on a grill or in an oven. The meat and eggplant cook together, so their juices and flavors mingle.
To make Antep-style eggplant kebab, alternate eggplant slices with portions of seasoned ground meat on skewers or arrange them together in a baking dish. Cook until the eggplant is tender and the meat is fully cooked, turning or rotating the pieces as needed.
Antep-style eggplant kebab is commonly made with lamb mince, sometimes blended with beef. Mince with some fat tends to stay juicier during grilling, while very lean mince can dry out before the eggplant has softened.
Yes, Antep-style eggplant kebab works well in the oven. Arrange the eggplant and meat in a baking dish and roast until the meat is cooked through and the eggplant is tender; a grill gives it more of the traditional smoky flavor.
For Antep-style eggplant kebab, knead the seasoned mince until it holds together and press it firmly around the skewer or against the eggplant slices. Chilling the assembled kebabs briefly before grilling can also help the meat keep its shape.
Usually, no: the eggplant in Antep-style eggplant kebab is left unpeeled. Its skin helps the slices hold together during cooking, so wash and dry the eggplant before cutting it into pieces thick enough to keep their shape.
Antep-style eggplant kebab is the Gaziantep regional version of a broader family of Turkish eggplant-and-meat kebabs. Recipes vary, but the Antep name points to the local preparation and seasoning rather than one fixed ingredient list used everywhere.
Serve Antep-style eggplant kebab with grilled tomatoes and peppers, a fresh or onion salad, and flatbread. Plain yogurt or ayran makes a refreshing contrast to the savory grilled meat and smoky eggplant.
Yes, cooked Antep-style eggplant kebab can be frozen in an airtight container once it has cooled. The eggplant may become softer after thawing, so reheat it gently in the oven rather than expecting it to retain its freshly grilled texture.
Yes, you can make Antep-style eggplant kebab without a barbecue by roasting it in the oven or cooking it on a covered grill pan. You will miss some charcoal smoke, but the eggplant and seasoned meat still make the dish recognizable.

Antep-Style Eggplant Kebab comes from Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey. It brings together slices of eggplant and seasoned ground meat, usually arranged in layers or alternating pieces and cooked in the oven or over a grill. As it cooks, the eggplant softens and takes on the meat’s savoury, spiced flavour.
In its region of origin, it is served hot as a main dish, often with bread or rice and grilled vegetables; a fresh salad is an easy accompaniment elsewhere, too. It provides protein, while its fat content depends in part on the meat and cooking method. For a lighter plate, choose leaner mince and serve it with plenty of salad.
