Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Peel, then thinly slice shallots. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Drain, then roughly chop olives. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Combine beef, panko, Shawarma Spice Blend, half the garlic and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a more tender meatball, add an egg to the mixture!)Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl).
Add carrots and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Arrange meatballs on the other side of the baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until carrots are golden-brown and meatballs are cooked through, 10-12 min.**
Meanwhile, add shallots, vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 2 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min. Remove the pot from heat. Transfer shallots, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl.
Add mayo, hummus, 1/4 tsp garlic and 2 tsp water (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.
