Ingredients

• 200 grams dried soy curls
• 500 milliliters vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces pita bread
• 1 medium cucumber
• 2 medium tomato
• 1 small red onion
• 200 grams vegan tzatziki sauce
• 1 bunch fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the dried soy curls in a large bowl and cover with hot vegetable broth. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until they are soft and rehydrated. Drain well and squeeze out the excess liquid.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the marinade until well blended.

Step 3

Add the drained soy curls to the marinade bowl, stirring to coat evenly. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to be absorbed.

Step 4

While the soy curls are marinating, slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion thinly. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated soy curls. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 6

Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side or wrap them in foil and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.

Step 7

To assemble the gyros, spread vegan tzatziki sauce on each pita. Top with cooked soy curls, cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion slivers, and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Fold the pita to enclose the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegan Chicken Gyros!
