Roasted Chickpea Gyros
These pita sandwiches are so good and so easy. You can serve them vegetarian style or add a little bacon to "beef" them up!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz can chickpeas (3 cup soaked chickpeas if starting from dry, drained and rinsed)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cayenne pepper ½ tsp for less spice
- ¼ tsp salt
- 8 pita flatbreads
- 2 cups Tzatziki Sauce or just use mayo
- ½ red onion cut into strips
- 2 lettuce leaves roughly chopped
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1 lb Cooked Bacon optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Pat dry chickpeas with paper towel and remove any skins that may come off. Gently toss chickpeas with oil, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Spread chickpeas onto a greased rimmed baking sheet. I grease a sheet of foil or use a teflon cooking mat instead of greasing the baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned but not hard.
- Spread some Tzatziki onto one side of the pita, then sprinkle in some of the chickpeas and add veggies. Fold in half and enjoy!
