Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a small 5-inch (12 cm) baking dish.
2. Mix the beef, egg, almond flour, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper just until it holds, then shape two small kebabs.
3. Spread the pepper, onion, and mushrooms in the dish, drizzle with the oil, and sit the kebabs on top so they roast rather than stew.
4. Spoon the marinara over and bake for 15 minutes, until the sauce starts to bubble.
5. Scatter the mozzarella over and bake for 5 minutes more, until the kebabs reach 165°F (74°C) and the sauce bubbles at the edge.
