Instructions
- To prepare the shawarma spiced potatoes, mix all the spices together in a small bowl until well incorporated. Set aside while you slice the potatoes. Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch slices and drizzle them with olive oil. Season the potatoes generously with the shawarma spice. Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange the potatoes in an even layer on a silicon-lined baking sheet. Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp. The potatoes may need a flip in the oven about halfway through the cooking process. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- To make the tahini dressing, combine the lemon juice, water, tahini, garlic, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl and stir until well combined.
- To make the cucumber salad, place the halved cherry tomatoes in a medium bowl and toss with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the tomatoes to marinate for about 5-10 minutes, then add the cucumbers and red onions and toss to combine. Right before serving, add the fresh herbs to the tomatoes and cucumbers.
- To assembly the dish, arrange the potatoes in a nice layer in the serving bowl. Drizzle the potatoes with the tahini dressing and top them with the cucumber salad.
