What should you serve this shawarma with?

This Keto sheetpan chicken shawarma is versatile, allowing you to serve it in various ways. For a Low-carb option, enjoy it on its own for a flavorful and satisfying meal. Alternatively, wrap the shawarma in Keto-friendly flatbreads for an authentic experience. Top it with the homemade garlic sauce to elevate the flavors and add a creamy dimension to every bite. You can also serve it in a bowl with cauliflower rice, a fresh salad, pickles, and the garlic sauce.

Can you add any veggies to this healthy dinner?

How to store leftovers?

If you find yourself with leftover shawarma, fear not! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, keeping the sauce separate. To reheat, use an oven or stovetop for the best results, ensuring that the chicken remains juicy and flavorful. This makes for a convenient option, allowing you to savor the deliciousness of this Keto sheet pan dish over multiple meals.
