Let it marinate an hour on the counter or overnight in the fridge; cooking straight away also works.
Set the air fryer to 400F and cook in two batches in a single layer so it cooks evenly and chars.

Rest about five to ten minutes, then thinly slice into strips.
Serve over cauliflower rice with salad on the side and shawarma sauce drizzled over the top, or in a pita pocket or a wrap.
