Crispy Roasted Chickpea Gyros

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Roasted Chickpea Gyros.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a light greasing to a rimmed baking sheet to ensure your chickpeas don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   Next, take a moment to pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel, gently removing any loose skins.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.

4. Step 4

   Toss everything together until the chickpeas are beautifully coated in those vibrant flavors.

5. Step 5

   Now, spread the seasoned chickpeas out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they have a little space to roast evenly.

6. Step 6

   Pop them into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown while still remaining tender.

7. Step 7

   While the chickpeas are roasting, it’s time to assemble your delicious gyros.

8. Step 8

   Take your pita bread and generously spread tzatziki sauce inside each one, creating a creamy base.
