Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and roast the chickpeas

Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Rinse the chickpeas; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, stir together the chickpeas, harissa spice blend, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. On a sheet pan, spread the chickpeas in an even layer. Roast, stirring halfway through, until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep the vegetables; make the tzatziki

  • Peel the onion and thinly slice half for garnish; save the remaining onion for another use. 
  • Cut the tomatoes in half; cut any large tomatoes into quarters. Set aside for garnish. 
  • Peel the cucumber if desired; cut the cucumber into ¼-inch pieces. Measure ¼ cup [½ cup] for the tzatziki; set aside the rest for serving.

In a small bowl, using a fork or masher, lightly mash the ¼ cup [½ cup] cucumber. Stir in the yogurt and season to taste with salt and pepper. 

3

Warm the lavash

Brush the tops of the lavash lightly with oil. Place side by side directly on the oven rack or on a sheet pan and bake until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.

4

Assemble the gyros

Transfer the lavash to a work surface and spoon on the tzatziki. Top with the chickpeas, spinach, onion, and tomatoes and dollop with as much sambal oelek as you like. Drizzle with oil if desired and season with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the gyros to individual plates and serve the remaining cucumber and any remaining sambal oelek on the side.
