Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, thinly slice the red onion and bell peppers.
- Assemble Sheet Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs, sliced onions, and bell peppers on the sheet pan in a single layer.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or cilantro over the chicken and vegetables for garnish. Serve the chicken shawarma with warm pita bread, hummus, tzatziki, or your choice of sides.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious sheet pan chicken shawarma!
