About Seitan shawarma

Seitan Shawarma is a plant-based twist on a Middle Eastern classic, offering bold flavors and satisfying textures without meat. The star ingredient, seitan, is a high-protein food made from wheat gluten, seasoned with a blend of aromatic shawarma spices including cumin, coriander, garlic, and paprika. Typically served in a warm pita or flatbread, it’s complemented by fresh toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and tahini or garlic sauce. Originating from Levantine cuisine, this dish delivers a hearty and delicious meal that’s vegan-friendly and customizable. Seitan is low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy protein alternative, but it may not be suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Pairing it with fiber-rich vegetables and opting for whole-grain bread enhances its nutritional balance, while avoiding excessive sauces helps keep calories in check. Seitan Shawarma is a flavorful, protein-packed option for vegan or vegetarian diets.
