Oven-baked spiced kebab with a tomato-herb salad and creamy garlic tahini, wrapped in warm flatbread.

This recipe relies on two contrasts: well-browned meat against a fresh chopped salad, and a spiced kebab filling against cool tahini sauce. The sheet-pan format makes it easier to keep the meat juicy while still getting enough surface colour for a wrap.

If you are using a fattier meat like lamb, the salad and tahini will balance it naturally. If you are using chicken, take care not to overbake the slab so the wrap stays moist once sliced.

For a balanced serving, keep the salad generous and the tahini moderate. The kebab also works plated with grains or chopped vegetables if you do not want to build wraps.

What Makes The Sheet-Pan Method Work

Flattening the kebab mixture onto a tray changes the shape, but it still keeps the important parts of the dish intact. The meat browns across the surface, the inside stays moist, and slicing after roasting makes it easier to portion for wraps without shaping individual skewers.

The fresh salad is also doing necessary work. It offsets the spices and any richness from the meat, while the tahini sauce brings creaminess without making the wrap feel overloaded with heavier toppings.

Serving Notes

This recipe is flexible enough to serve as wraps, bowls, or a platter meal with salad and bread on the side. That makes it a good option when not everyone wants the same assembly.
