  2. 2

    Toss chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Whisk together 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 2 tbsp water until smooth and pourable.

Questions

Can I make Vegan Chickpea Shawarma Wraps gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 4 store-bought flatbread or pita. Swap the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Vegan Chickpea Shawarma Wraps keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Vegan Chickpea Shawarma Wraps?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
