Ingredients

For the Shawarma Tofu

1 block tofu soy tofu or lentil tofu, sliced into ½" strips
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon coriander
¼ teaspoon cardamom
pinch salt & pepper
1-2 tablespoons olive oil spray

For the Pita Wraps

6 pitas I like this brand
10 ounces hummus whatever flavor you prefer
¼ cup lemon tahini sauce see notes
½ cup diced tomatoes
½ cup diced cucumber
juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can preheat a stovetop griddle to grill the tofu. Just keep in mind the tofu does get crispier edges when baked.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, cumin, smoked paprika, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, cardamom, salt & pepper.
In a large shallow bowl, add the tofu and spray with oil. Sprinkle with seasonings. Toss until evenly combined.
Arrange tofu strips on the baking sheet and cook for 6-7 minutes, on each side. If grilling, cook on the griddle for roughly the same amount of time on each side.
Serve tofu strips warm with pita, hummus, lemon tahini sauce, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, and lemon juice. Enjoy!
