Equipment
Ingredients
For the Falafel:
- 3 cups chickpeas
- 3 tablespoon chickpea flour
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoon tahini
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ red onion
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprike
- 1 lemon juiced
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
- 1 cup vegan yogurt
- ⅓ cup fresh dill
- ½ cup minced cucumber
- 2 lemon juiced
For the Gyro:
- 6 gluten-free pitas
- 1 tomato
- ½ red onion
- 2 cups spring mix
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375. Ignore this step if using an air-fryer.
- Begin by making the falafel. Roughly chop the onion, parsley, and garlic. Add all falafel ingredients together in food processor and blend. You will probably need to scrape the edges down as you go. You want to ensure you don't over blend. It needs to be smooth, but not smooth enough to resemble hummus.
- Once blended scoop out and form balls or patties, both work great. Place on the baking sheet for 3o minutes in the oven. You can also air fry them for a quicker option (about 18 minutes). You want them to be hard on the outside and slightly browned.
- To make the tzatziki sauce: finely chop and add all ingredients together and stir to combine.
- Assemble the gyros by placing the spring mix on the naan and topping with chopped veggies, falafel, and finish with tzatziki and enjoy!
