How to Make the Best Vegan Shawarma Wrap

- Spread the seasoned tofu on a sheet pan in a single layer.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through. This is what gives it that golden crust.

How to Store
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the tofu mixture in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply warm in the oven or a skillet for the best texture.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Result
- Press your tofu before shredding to remove excess moisture.
- Adjust the spices to suit your heat preference.
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for extra zest.
Easy Variations to Try
