Sheet Pan Chickpea & Veggie Shawarma
Serves: 4 Total Time:  35 minutes  FODMAP Rating: Medium/High

This is such a great way to mix up a boring chickpea and veggie meal. The added flavor of the spices and tahini, with the perfect touch by adding the sauce makes this dish really yummy. It is salty with a hint of sweetness. Plus, your house will smell so good when it is cooking! It's really good as is, over rice, in a wrap or pita, or my favorite--on top of a baked potato!

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced or chopped
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced or chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons tahini (you could add more–up to ¼ cup depending on preference)
  • ½ Juice of a lemon
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • More salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garnish with cilantro (or fresh parsley works if you are a cilantro hater), and serve as is or over rice or potatoes. (I personally love it over yellow potatoes) or eat inside a wrap or pita.

For the sauce:

  • I package silken tofu
  • ½ Juice of a lemon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss chickpeas and veggies with tahini, lemon juice, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the mixture on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
  5. While veggies are cooking, make the sauce in a blender.
  6. Take veggies out of oven. Taste and add salt if needed. 
  7. Serve as is, in a pita or over rice, or over a baked potato and add a drizzle of the sauce.
