Vegan BBQ? Oh yes! The whole family can get behind this Israeli-inspired dinner. Serve with Tomato-Garlic Bread that couldn’t be simpler. Dress up any roll or slice with a simple and classic Spanish technique. Use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
Instead of making your own spice blend, now you can order our Jamie Geller Shawarma on Amazon. Dinner will be ready in no time.

I would start checking them around 45 minutes, but I expect they will take 1 hour.
I have to make it in the oven and would like to know about how long to cook it for.
Yum, excellent spice combination. I put some chunks of butternut squash in there too, and it went down a storm.
