Falafel shawarma with tahini is a delicious and convenient meal, but proper storage is key to maintaining its quality and preventing foodborne illness. This guide provides tips on how to store your falafel shawarma safely in the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, ensuring it stays fresh and flavorful for as long as possible.
Storage Time
1–2 days in the fridge, up to 2 months frozen
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below.
Freezing
To freeze falafel shawarma, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, freeze individual portions. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the falafel and vegetables.
Signs of Spoilage
