Metric - US Standard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C fan/400°F

  • Rinse, drain and pat the chickpeas dry. Add them to a foil lined baking sheet along with the oil, paprika, cayenne pepper and oregano. Season with salt and pepper and shake the tray to evenly coat everything. Pop in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the tzatziki by combining the grated cucumber (squeezed of excess moisture), Greek yogurt, lime juice and chopped mint. Season generously with salt.
  • Dry toast the flat bread by heating in a griddle pan/ non-stick pan on a medium heat for around 1 minute. Use your tongs to gently fold the flatbread lengthways to form the shape of the gyros.
  • Assemble the gyros by adding a thick layer of tzatziki, a couple of lettuce leaves, remaining sliced cucumber, a handful of smoky chickpeas, tomatoes, onion and some crumbled feta.
  • Use any remaining tzatziki as a dip!

Notes

  • Pat the chickpeas dry after draining to ensure they are dry before roasting.
  • Enhance flavours with your favourite spices.  I used paprika, cayenne, and oregano.
  • Roast on a high heat for a crispy outside and tender inside. Shake the pan for even cooking, and monitor after 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Create fresh tzatziki with Greek yogurt, finely diced cucumber, and lime juice for a burst of fresh flavors.
  • Toast flatbreads on a griddle for softness before assembling the wrap. Fold them over for easy handling.
