Gather the ingredients.
Place ground beef, onion, parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
Divide mixture into 8 portions and form into oval-shaped patties around the skewers, making sure the point of the skewer is covered. Place kabobs on a plate and place in the refrigerator.
