Description

This Vegan Sheet Pan Kebab recipe offers a delicious and healthy plant-based alternative to traditional kebabs, utilizing textured vegetable protein (TVP) soaked in flavorful beef broth substitute and combined with spices, herbs, and a blend of flax and flour for binding. Baked to perfection on a sheet pan, these kebabs are crispy on the outside and tender inside, perfect for serving in flatbread wraps with tahini sauce and fresh salad. Ideal for a quick and satisfying vegan meal with bold flavors and minimal fuss.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)
  • 1 cup Beef broth (substitute with vegetable broth for vegan)
  • 1 Onion
  • 4 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Turkish pepper paste
  • 1 tbsp Ground flax
  • ½ cup All purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (390°F) to prepare for baking the kebabs.
  2. Prepare TVP mixture: Mix 1 cup of beef broth with 1 cup of TVP in a bowl, ensuring the TVP soaks up all the liquid for 15 minutes to rehydrate and absorb flavor.
  3. Add aromatics: Grate one onion and four garlic cloves directly into the soaked TVP mixture for fresh, robust flavor infusion.
  4. Mix spices and binders: Incorporate the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, ground flax, dark soy sauce, Turkish pepper paste, olive oil, and all-purpose flour into the mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined to form a thick batter-like consistency.
  5. Prepare the baking sheet: Lightly oil a sheet pan to prevent sticking and spread the kebab mixture evenly on the pan, shaping it into a rectangular form.
  6. Cut into strips: Using a sharp knife, slice the rectangle into even kebab strips for easy serving.
  7. Brush with oil: Lightly brush the top of the kebab strips with olive oil to encourage browning during baking.
  8. Bake the kebabs: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until the kebabs are cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Serve the kebabs warm in flatbread accompanied by tahini sauce and a fresh salad for a wholesome vegan meal experience.

Notes

  • Substitute beef broth with vegetable broth to maintain a vegan profile suitable for all vegan diets.
  • Ground flax acts as a binder, helping the kebabs hold their shape without eggs.
  • Ensure the TVP is fully soaked to prevent dry kebabs.
  • Adjust the amount of Turkish pepper paste based on your preferred spice level.
  • These kebabs can be frozen after baking for meal prep convenience.
