BBQ Grilled Vegan Gyro
The BBQ grilled vegan gyro is a fantastic alternative to the traditional Greek gyro, which you can make from seitan or jackfruit. The marinade gives a smoky BBQ flavor to the base ingredient, while grilling gives it a crispy exterior. Fresh pita bread, crispy vegetables and soft vegan yogurt create a perfect balance in this dish. This recipe is an ideal choice for quick lunches, barbecues or even a get-together with friends. If you want to make it even more special, try it with homemade tzatziki or spicy sauces.
