MUSHROOM SHAWARMA

Mushroom Shawarma

A bold, comforting, and fully plant-based take on traditional shawarma, this Mushroom Shawarma wraps savory, spiced roasted mushrooms with fresh veggies and creamy tahini sauce in warm flatbread.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g Mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup Tahini Sauce
  • 4 Flatbreads or Pitas, warmed
  • 1 Red Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Cucumber, sliced into sticks
  • Handful Fresh Parsley or Mint, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the mushrooms and toss to coat.
  3. Spread the mushrooms on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the edges.
  5. While mushrooms cook, prep toppings: slice onion and cucumber, chop herbs, and warm flatbreads.
  6. Assemble wraps by spreading tahini sauce, adding roasted mushrooms, and layering veggies and herbs.
  7. Drizzle with more tahini and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms for the best texture.
  • Marinate mushrooms overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Serve with spicy harissa or pickled radishes for extra punch.
  • Leftovers are great in salads or grain bowls the next day.
