Vegetable Gyro

This Vegetable Gyro is a refreshing and flavorful vegetarian take on a classic Greek dish, featuring marinated grilled vegetables and a creamy tzatziki sauce. Perfect for a summer BBQ or a quick weeknight meal, it's packed with vibrant flavors and nutrients.

Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini - sliced
• 1 medium bell pepper (any color) - sliced
• 1 small red onion - sliced
• 100g cherry tomatoes - halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 whole wheat pita breads
• 50g feta cheese - crumbled
• 1 small cucumber - grated
• 150g Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill - chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic - minced

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
2. In a bowl, combine zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.
3. Grill the vegetable mixture for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
4. While the vegetables are grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a separate bowl, mix the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and set aside.
5. Once the vegetables are done, warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
6. To assemble the gyros, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita, top with the grilled vegetables, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
7. Fold the pita in half and serve immediately.
