Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a barbecue for cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with the finely chopped red bell pepper and onion.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix in the finely chopped parsley to integrate the fresh, herby flavor into the kebab mixture.
Using your hands, mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices and herbs.
Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal parts and form each into a long, cylindrical shape around metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers.
Lightly brush each kebab with olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to cook each side evenly, until they are nicely browned and fully cooked through.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Low Carb Adana Kebabs hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
