This Roasted Chickpea Gyros recipe is an easy vegetarian dinner for feeding everyone on busy weeknights! And with over one hundred 5 stars reviews, it’s an all time reader favorite!

Roasted chickpea gyros with tomato and lettuce in a pita wrap

After discovering and subsequently eating far too many roasted chickpeas yesterday, I wanted to find a way to make these flavor bombs into an actual, sustainable meal.

And at this point, “meal” really means anything that doesn’t involve just eating a bowl full of roasted chickpeas. I suppose as I get closer and closer to moving and really begin whittling away at my pantry stock, I’ll have to become more lenient in what I consider a “meal”…but for now I can still justify buying some fresh veggies and flatbreads to make these vegetarian Roasted Chickpea Gyros!

Roasted chickpea gyros with tomato and lettuce in a pita wrap

Making these vegetarian gyros is really simple actually. Season and roast up some healthy chickpeas, throw together the World’s Best Tzatziki, and put it all on a pita with some lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions.

We won’t roast the chickpeas for quite as long today, just 20 minutes, until they’re cooked but not hard. This will give them a hearty texture, replacing any desire you may have had for putting meat into this vegetarian sandwich. We don’t need no meats up in here!

How do you roast chickpeas?

Drain the can of chickpeas and pat dry with paper towels. Toss with 1 tablespoon of oil per can of chickpeas, along with whatever spices you like (today we’re using gyro spices!) Then roast chickpeas at 400F (204C) for 20 minutes, until a bit crispy.

Have an air fryer? You can also roast chickpeas ultra-quickly in the air fryer!

Tips & Tricks

*If you don’t like spicy foods, halve the amount paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Taste a chickpea before baking and adjust flavors as needed.

    NOT VEGAN!!! It’s labeled as vegan on the top, though, possibly a mistake? It’s easy to make it vegan by substituting the Greek yogurt with a nut yogurt. The first time I tried it with vegan mayo, but it’s not the same. Then I found kite hill almond yogurt (plain, Greek-style) and it was really good! I served them to friends and they thought I had cheated and used dairy! I also added black olives and highly recommend others do the same4 stars

      Hi Kat! I usually categorize it as vegan if it is very easy to make it vegan, in this instance, using soy or nut-based yogurt (don’t want to deprive vegans of something so tasty!). Happy you found a tasty substitute and your friends liked them! šŸ˜€

    Made this for my vegan and non vegan family and EVERYONE loved it! Skipped the tzatziki as an ingredient and used only as a topping for the non vegans. Instead, I spread roasted garlic hummus on the pitas and heated them up in the oven. Then everyone added the toppings they wanted. SO GOOD! Added this recipe to my favorites so I could make it often! Thanks for your awesome recipe!5 stars

      So happy to hear, Abigail! I LIVED on these things when I lived alone. You could also play around with different sauces and spices if you start getting bored of the flavor (not that anyone could get bored with tzatziki). One variation I really like is with herby chickpeas (garlic, dried basil/dill/parsley) and hummus as the sauce. šŸ˜€

    O.M.G. I just made this, and I’m speechless. I didn’t know a meatless gyro could taste so good. And that sauce…if I could get all my vegetarian meals to taste like this, I’d go vegetarian TODAY. I used dried garbanzo beans that I soaked, boiled, then baked as per the recipe instructions. It took a little longer, but it was worth the effort. I used a white onion, as that was all i had on hand, and it was fine. Great recipe.5 stars

    This recipe is a staple in our house. In fact, I’ve probably prepared it 25 times in the last year. It’s absolutely delicious, and it’s easy to tone down the spice.

    Because it’s easier to find (at WalMart), we use cucumber garlic ranch dip instead of the tzatziki.5 stars

    Posted on 5/9 at 3:13 pm

    I had a similar issue as one reader above, where the chickpeas came out too dry and crusty. I prepared the chickpeas as described and cooked them as instructed at 400F for 20 minutes. I’ve also tried cooking them for half the time, and they still come out fairly dry. Anyone have suggestions as to what to try?

    Reply
    • Sarah says

      Posted on 5/13 at 3:42 pm

      Hi Peter, sorry to hear they didn’t come out how they were supposed to. Everyone’s oven is a bit different, perhaps yours runs a bit hotter? Try reducing the temperature a bit. Otherwise, you can also cook the chickpeas on the stove over medium heat šŸ˜€

  22. Peter Wood says

    Posted on 5/14 at 2:26 am

    Thanks for the advice. For all I know, our oven’s thermostat may be wrong. šŸ™‚ I’ll look at using a lower temperature, or perhaps quick frying in a pan. We had this again the other night, and this time I just heated up the chickpeas in the microwave after seasoning them. It resulted in a less dry texture, which was good, but I’d love to be able to make it with the intended roasted flavor.

    When you “pat dry” the chickpeas, before the oil and seasoning, does that mean they need to be completely dry? Or just make sure they’re not sopping wet?

    Also, one thing I wasn’t clear on with this instruction:

    “1 15 oz can chickpeas (425 g, 1 ½ cup soaked chickpeas if starting from dry, drained and rinsed)”

    Does the draining and rinsing only apply when starting with dried chickpeas, or is that for canned chickpeas as well?

    Just trying to think through all of the reasons they might have come out too dry…

    Fun tidbit: the first time through this recipe I misread the measurement for cayenne pepper as 1 Tablespoon (your instructions were perfectly clear, I was just an idiot). BOY were those some spicy chickpeas. Of course I didn’t realize I had the wrong measurement until the next time I made them. THEN I had a face-palm moment, and made profuse apologies to my family for the previous occasion…

      The frying pan method is pretty foolproof and gives for both crispy yet not dry chickpeas šŸ˜€

      And all good questions! By “pat dry” I indeed just mean “not sopping wet”. I don’t want you to slave over drying each one, but roughly patting them dry helps them to crisp up when cooking. You should drain and rinse the chickpeas no matter how you prepare them (dry or canned). Hope these can help you out!

      Hahah and those must have been some fire-y chickpeas!!

  23. Peter Wood says

    Posted on 6/6 at 3:39 pm

    Any tips for how to remove the skins from the chickpeas more quickly and easily? This seems to take the longest.

    Reply
    • Sarah says

      Posted on 6/7 at 11:09 pm

      Just remove the ones that are really hanging off, no need to remove them all (i.e. don’t spend longer than 1 minute on it, the difference it makes is pretty small!)

    Hi Sarah, thanks 4 this recipe. It’s so good, I love it! I definitely will make this often.

    Sarah I was wondering if you have a healthy recipe for a pita flatbread, maybe /W/ chickpea or oat flour? Store bought pita breads contain soy, which I’m allergic to. Matter a fact when your recipes contain soy sauce, I use balsamic vinegar in it’s place & it’s good.
    Thanks

      Ah I had no idea they contained soy! Fortunately flatbreads are easy (and fun) to make at home. I’ve used this recipe from Minimalist Baker quite a bit (contains wheat flour but some comments below the post mention success using Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose GF mix).

    I loved how this turned out for me. I made few adjustments with the ingredients and It turned out amazingly delicious. I’ve been eating the same old boring chickpea and just tossing it in salads. So glad to have found this recipe!

    For the spices, I opted out cayenne and added turmeric instead. I didn’t want spicy chickpea so I followed your instruction to halve other spices. And for the sauce, I used labneh instead of greek yogurt coz it’s much cheaper here lol and I think it’s thicker???

    Thanks for the idea ! I didn’t have the ingredients to make Tzatziki so I went for a Moroccan twist.
    I used a Moroccan spice blend with the roasted chickpeas and also made to sauces for the gyro.
    Mayo – Moroccan blend with a tad of honey, spread in the pita
    Mayo and Sriracha for a spicy kick, tiny drizzle on top of the toppings.

    Removing the skins on the chickpeas definitely did it for the crispiness. I’ve tried other recipes before and didn’t turn out half as good as yours. Wow !

    I’ll be back with the proper ingredients and make yours in the near future, but glad I tried something different. This is definitely a keeper !

    Great recipe but you’ve got so many ads that’s its very distracting from the actual content. I totally get that it’s a revenue source but maybe limit the amount per page a bit so it’s easier to see your awesome recipes!

    This was AMAZING! I used Trader Joe’s garlic naan bread, and avocado slices with the everything but the bagel seasoning. Can’t wait to make this again. So simple and delicious! Thank you!5 stars

    I would definitely make this recipe again! I added a little turmeric and cumin to the spice rub for an extra kick! My chickpeas were done around 15 minutes so I would definitely recommend checking around then!5 stars

    I am new to this type of cooking. First time trying to roast chick peas. They turned out great. I tried this recipe last night and it was just scrumptious! Thank you!

    I don’t know if I did something wrong, but this was a huge disappointment.

    The kids were a bit skeptical about having a sandwich for dinner, but then proceeded to hoover them up. I reckon you could wrap just about anything up with that tzatziki and be onto a winner. Thanks Sarah. šŸ˜„5 stars

    My husband and I both love this recipe! It is a wonderful weekday meal option since prep is such a breeze! I use vegan mayo as an alternative to the tzatziki. Thanks for the delicious meal option!5 stars
