Sheet Pan Shawarma Tofu Recipes For the Win!
This tofu spiced shawarma is the perfect sheet pan dinner! I love a good sheet pan meal, especially during these winter months when the weather starts to turn cooler. Cooking on a sheet pan is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast! All the food gets cooked on a single pan, which makes cleaning up a breeze.
And the oven does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. Sheet pan meals are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out my link here to see other sheet pan meals that are ready in no time!
What’s In This Vegan Shawarma with Tofu Recipe?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Tofu – extra firm is best
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this shawarma.
- Za’atar: a fantastic Middle Eastern spice blend of garlic, lemon, sumac, and sesame. It has a deep citrusy flavor, with a slightly herbal finish. Similar to oregano, this za’atar spice blend has a bright and bold flavor – absolutely perfect for this tofu shawarma.
- Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this dish – the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that get used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
- Cinnamon: which gives this shawarma a classic spice-y flavor! I love to add just a hint.
- Pita Bread
- Toppings: I like topping my shawarma with homemade tzatziki, cucumber, hummus, and of course with a side of tabbouleh.
