🍢 Tofu Shawarma Recipe

Crispy edges. Tender center. Flavor in every bite. This tofu shawarma is the plant-based street food of your dreams—perfect in wraps, bowls, or tossed with grains and greens.


🧂 You’ll Need:

  • 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu

  • 2 tbsp Spice Souk Shawarma Blend

  • 1½ tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • Salt to taste (if needed)

  • Optional: 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari (for umami)


🧑‍🍳 How to Make It:

  1. Press the Tofu
    Drain and press tofu for 15–30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into ½-inch thick slabs or cubes.

  2. Marinate
    Toss tofu with shawarma blend, oil, lemon, and soy sauce. Let it marinate at least 30 minutes (or overnight if you're on top of things).

  3. Cook It Your Way

  • Air Fryer: 375°F for 12–15 minutes

  • Oven: 425°F for 25 minutes, flip halfway

  • Skillet: Medium-high heat, cook 3–4 minutes per side until crisp

  1. Serve It Up
    Build a pita wrap with tahini sauce, fresh veggies, and pickles—or toss into a grain bowl with roasted chickpeas and lemony greens.
