Total time: 30 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 15 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy

A street food classic morphs into a convenient sheet-pan dinner when you replace a giant rotisserie spit with a hot oven but keep the same blend of warm spices and a tangy tahini-yogurt sauce. Serve as is, or for a handheld treat, pile all the ingredients into a toasted pita.
