vegan gyros

Roasted cauliflower seasoned with Greek spices served with creamy dairy-free tzatziki, and fresh crisp veggies wrapped in warm flatbread – these vegan gyro wraps are easy, healthy and delicious!

Vegan Cauliflower Gyros

cauliflower

garlic cloves,

juice of large lemon

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

tbsp red wine vinegar

oregano

onion powder

tsp cumin

rosemary

salt

tsp black pepper

tsp smoked paprika

tsp coriander

cayenne pepper, optional

flatbread (or naan)

vegan tzatziki Sauce

cherry tomatoes, sliced

cucumber, sliced

red onion,

parsley

olives

Defrost the cauliflower overnight in the fridge or a few hours at room temperature. Cut up any larger pieces so that the florets are all roughly the same size for even cooking. Drain the cauliflower and dry it as much as possible on paper towel or a clean tea towel if necessary. Place in a large bowl.  In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade. Pour the marinade over the cauliflower and toss. Cover and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, but a few hours is best.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a large baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper. Spread the cauliflower out on baking sheet, ensuring there&#039;s space between each floret. Once the oven has preheated completely, place the cauliflower on a middle rack and roast for 25-35 minutes, tossing once half way through. Prepare your toppings and tzatziki.

For the Cauliflower:

Warm the flat-breads by wrapping them in foil and placing them in the oven during the last few minutes of roasting the cauliflower.

Layer the cauliflower, tzatziki, veggies and olives down the middle of a warm flatbread. Fold the sides of the flatbread over the fillings. Wrap in parchment or foil to help make things less messy if desired. Store leftover cauliflower, toppings and flatbread separately - these wraps are best assembled just before serving.

Assembling the Gyro Wraps:

Vegan Gyros! marinated grilled tofu, fresh veggies, topped with 10 minute tzatziki sauce and wrapped in a warm pita! Delicious and easy greek wrap!

Vegan Gyros With Grilled Tofu And Tzatziki Sauce

tofu, pressed*

oil, I use grapeseed oil

tamari

balsamic vinegar

brown sugar, packed

tomato paste

garlic

pepper

dill

coriander

cumin

cinnamon

recipe 1o Minute Tzatziki Sauce

pitas, naan

-2 tomatoes, sliced

about half English cucumber,

lettuce, romaine or iceberg

red onion, thinly sliced in half moon shapes

hummus

black olives

French fries

herbs cilantro

First press the tofu (see notes) for 15-20 minutes then slice the tofu lengthwise so you have 2 thinner slabs cut each slab in half for a total of four pieces. Lay flat in a large freezer bag and pour over the marinade. Marinade for minimum 1 hour, overnight or up to a couple of days in the fridge.

While the tofu is pressing make the marinade: add ingredients to a bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved,

While the tofu is marinading prep the vegetables, set aside

Make one recipe of vegan tzatziki and set aside in the fridge until needed (or prepare a day ahead)

To grill the tofu

remove from marinade, oil both sides of tofu, I use a pastry brush and grill over medium heat on your preheated and oiled grill pan or bbq. (if using bbq make sure the grates are clean and oiled) Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until you get some good char marks for extra flavour! Remove to plate and drizzle on more marinade (it’s so fabulous) Cut each tofu steak into 4 pieces.

To assemble the gyros

lay a pita on a piece of tin foil or parchment paper. Add some shredded lettuce down the middle followed by some grilled tofu, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and tzatziki sauce and a twist of cracked black pepper and salt or seasoning salt. Wrap up in the foil, twisting and folding up the end. Enjoy! Makes 4 Gyros. For step by step photos see above post.

We really enjoyed preparing these and devouring them . We will be definitely be a hit this summer ,

We have made this recipe numerous times, absolutley love it the tofu is amazing!

This recipe is exceptional! All the components work together perfectly. The tofu- wow! That's a winner. Thank you for sharing

This was wonderful, gyros and tzatziki both! We were thinking that we would like to try this marinade on seitan steaks, then cook them on the grill!

Just made these tonight and fell in love! The tofu is top notch on its own, when you add that tzatziki it takes it to the next level. A great flavorful meal I felt great about eating. I didn't have tomato paste and didn't want to add the sugar so I used 1 tbsp ketchup instead. Also cut the tofu into thinner slices, just my preference, they came out crispy and chewy and so flavorful. Definitely making this again. Also thinking the tofu would be awesome in a Greek salad

Quick and easy Greek gyros (vegan version) made with shaved tofu and mushrooms cooked in a killer gyros marinade, served in a warm pita with tomatoes, red onions, romaine, fries (if you want) and finished with generous dollops of dairy-free tzatziki sauce. A seriously flavorful, high protein, plant-based weeknight meal that&#39;s super satisfying and delicious for all eaters.

Epic Vegan Gyros with Tzatziki

block extra firm tofu

olive oil (divided)

soy sauce

black pepper

vegan chicken bouillon powder (optional)

mushrooms

vegan mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt

olive oil

lemon juice + zest from lemon

smoked paprika powder

red pepper flakes

brown sugar

romaine, shredded

tomatoes, diced or sliced

red onion, thinly sliced

pitas oregano (warmed)

fries (optional)

Preheat oven/ for fries: If making fries, double check the directions for cooking time. Toss the fries with some oil, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and  a pinch of salt. Pop them into the oven/air fryer to be ready when the gyros are ready to serve.

Dairy-free tzatziki: Whisk the tzatziki ingredients together if making from scratch. Chill until needed. This sauce can be made up to several days in advance (recommended).

Prepare the tofu and mushrooms: Use extra firm tofu or press softer tofu* for 30 minutes while you prepare the other recipe components. *Tofu can be pressed a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator as needed.

Make the marinade: Whisk the gyros meat marinade ingredients together in a small bowl or measuring cup.

Shave the mushrooms using a mandoline or sharp knife (see photos).

Cook the mushrooms: Add some olive oil or butter to a large skillet and pan fry the sliced mushrooms over medium high heat until golden and crispy around edges (~5-7 minutes). Pro Tip: You can cook the mushrooms with the tofu, but you don&#39;t get as much flavor and texture IMO. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.

Shave the tofu using a mandoline or sharp knife while the mushrooms are cooking. (Newbies, shave your mushrooms and tofu before starting so you&#39;re not doing two things at once.)

Cook the tofu: Toss the shaved tofu with the seasonings in a bowl. Reheat the skillet (from the mushrooms) with ~1 tablespoon oil (or cooking spray) over medium-high to high heat. Add the seasoned tofu and cook, gently stirring frequently until golden with some crispy edges (~5-7 minutes).

Prep the vegetables: While the tofu is cooking, prepare the veggies: romaine, tomatoes, red onion, and cucumbers.

Finish the gyro meat: Pour ~3/4 of the &#39;marinade&#39; sauce into the pan with the tofu - toss it all together and let it cook over medium heat for 3 or 4 minutes until the sauce sticks to the tofu. Add in the mushrooms and the remaining marinade sauce - toss together and let cook another minute or two until heated through.

Pitas: Just before serving, warm the pitas in the microwave to make them more pliable. OR for an extra layer of flavor: Pour some olive oil into your hands and rub it over both sides of the pita (like applying suntan lotion), sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano and heat on a grill pan or in a large skillet until warm and pliable.

Assemble the gyros: Spread tzatziki on the warm pita. Then add shredded lettuce, gyros meat, fresh veggies, a pile of Greek fries (if using), and more dollops of tzatziki on top. Fold over and enjoy!

This was so delicious.  Best tofu recipe i have ever made.  Thank you!!!

Had the pleasure of trying these gyros and can confirm that they are absolutely delicious. Make lots because you will want seconds.

These gyros wraps present beautifully and are packed with flavour punctuated with the perfect amount of crunch.  My husband devoured two !   Wouldn't hesitate to serve to the pickiest foodie! Include in your family BBQ or just serve as main course.    10/10

I am becoming a true tofu-atarian! This is an outstanding recipe, easy to make, and over-the-top delicious. My only complaint: need to make more!

These gyros are so damn good. The texture and flavors are spot on. I could eat them every day. The dairy free tzatziki is out of this world delicious. Really it would taste incredible on everything!

These are so good! It's spicy from the gyro meat, tart and garlicky from the tzatziki, and crunchy from the vegetables. It definitely benefits from a high quality pita.
