I kept seeing recipes for arayes and had to try them. This is my spin on this new fad – I hope to make variations of these arayes again because they were so easy and a huge hit! .
1 lb minced meat (not lean)
1.5 tbsp shawarma seasoning
1 tbsp zaatar
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
12-15 mini pitas
.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Mix together all ingredients except pita. Cut openings in the pitas and stuff with meat mixture. Try to flatten each pita, to spread meat mixture out evenly.
Place on greased baking sheet. Spray cooking spray generously on top as well.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. .
FYI – these were too flavorful for 2 of my kids so you can reduce the seasoning a bit for children.
