Follow timing on MANNA package, this time varies by +/- 3 minutes depending on how hot your oven is calibrated and how cold your fridge is. You want to ensure that the internal food temperature reaches about 165°F/74°C, piping hot. Place kebabs and lemon potatoes into the oven for about 18 minutes.
