Sheet Pan Vegan Shawarma Salad

This shawarma salad is the perfect sheet pan dinner!  I love a good sheet pan meal, especially during these warmer months when I want to cook everything at once. Cooking on a sheetpan 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 awesome 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 Shawarma Salad Bowl with Tofu Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Tofu – I like using extra firm.
• 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. If you’re looking for an exotic new spice to add to your cabinet, I can’t recommend this za’atar enough!
• 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.
• Salt & Pepper
• 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, tomatoes, and of course with a side of Mediterranean yellow rice made in the rice cooker.

How Do I Make Shawarma Spiced Tofu Bowl?

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. On a sheet pan, crumble the block of tofu with your hands, tearing it into roughly  1-inch pieces. Add the olive oil, paprika, za’atar, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Toss well to combine.
3. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway during cooking.
4. To a bowl, add a handful of mixed green lettuce, and top with 1/2 cup shawarma mix, tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow rice, and a dollop of vegan tzatziki sauce.  Enjoy!
