- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Vegetables
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions)
Additional
- Pita bread (4 pieces)
- 1/2 cup tahini sauce

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chickpeas.
- Mix Chickpeas and Spices: In a bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt, ensuring the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices.
- Roast Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until they are nicely browned and slightly crispy.
- Sauté Vegetables: While the chickpeas are roasting, heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the mixed bell peppers and onions until tender and slightly caramelized for enhanced flavor.
- Warm Pita Bread: In a separate pan, gently warm the pita bread until soft and pliable, making it easier to assemble the shawarma.
- Assemble Shawarma: Stuff the warmed pita bread with the roasted chickpeas and sautéed vegetables to build the kebab shawarma.
- Add Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the tahini sauce generously over the filling and garnish with fresh parsley to add brightness and freshness.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use well-cooked or canned chickpeas for convenience and best texture.
- Adjust spices to taste for heat or smokiness preference.
- For extra crispy chickpeas, consider tossing them with a little more oil before roasting.
- Tahini sauce can be substituted with vegan yogurt or garlic sauce if preferred.
- Warm pita gently to avoid tearing.
