These Chickpea Gyros are unfussy to make and make for such a satisfying vegetarian gyro option! Especially filling and even good for meal prep!

I teased this method on my Instagram this week and got so many questions about it! So, I figured that I would bump it up in my content calendar. It holds up, you’re going to want to cook this one ASAP!

It’s so Unfussy but somehow simply so satisfying! I’m excited to see y’all making this one.

For this method, I pan fried the chickpeas to get them crispy BUT you could easily air fry them following these instructions OR roast them following these instructions. I’ve cooked chickpeas ALL of the ways and love them every time.

The air fryer gets them the CRISPIEST and while it’s truly quite straightforward to do, sometimes I only don’t feel like getting my air fryer out (or washing it from the night before).

If you do end up making the chickpeas using one of those other methods, I simply suggest using the flavoring/ spices from this particular recipe (see recipe card down below) so that they taste the dependable in the gyro.

Ingredients we’re working with:

Chickpeas (obviously)
Spices: paprika, cumin, and garlic powder
Pita bread (YUM!)
Tzatziki sauce: I linked a recipe down below if you want too make your own BUT you can also simply buy it at the store which is what I did:)
Other toppings: cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta (Violife makes a flavor-packed vegan version if that’s your thing) and fresh dill

As per usual on Fridays, I’m going to keep things short and sweet today. I truly hope to see you making this dish because it’s SO deeply good (I think I’ll be making it again this weekend!).

If you do make this, or any of my other recipes, please be sure to tag me on Instagram and leave a review in the comments below! A regular here seeing what you’re making and it helps me out a lot.
