Vegetarian Gyro Pita Recipe
Ingredients:
- If you would like to make your own pita head over to this link and check out my recipe.
- 2 zucchini- thin slices.
- 2 large tomato- thin slices
- 1/4 red onion- thin slices
- 1/4 cup Feta cheese
- 1 Pinch oregano
- 2 Tablespoons Hummus Dip or Tzatizki dip
- 1 Lemon – Reserve the juice
Method:
- Saute the zucchini in a pan with light olive oil until the zucchini is golden brown on each side. Set aside.
- Prepare the tomato, and dip.
- Prepare the pita bread. Spread the dip over the pita, and layer with tomato, zucchini slices, red onion, feta cheese, and lemon juice. Sprinkle oregano over the top. Carefully fold the pita together, and if you need to wrap it in parchment paper.
Notes: If you can’t incorporate feta cheese then leave it out. You can replace with extra hummus if you like.

Hi Gina,

Happy week to you, and sorry for this over due reply.
I want one now. Love gyros!
Oh me too!!! They are super yummy.
Yum! This looks lovely, and the filling fresh. 🙂
Thank you very much! I hope you can try it. 🙂
Yummy! My kind of food. I manage to get similar in Crete once I convince the waiter I really do want a pita without meat, I never forego the chips tho! X
Hi Yvonne,
How are you? I love gyros without me, and I find it too funny if I ever ask for that in Greece. lol
I am sure you will enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts when you do. Cheers-
I can’t wait to try this! Looks healthy. Did you have to try this over and over to come up with the right mix of ingredients?
Hi!! Thank you for stopping by. No I didn’t. First time making it. 🙂 I usually make it with meat but wanted to try my own vege version. 🙂
