Ingredients

• 1 medium Eggplant
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 Red bell peppers
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dill
• 1 tablespoon Mint leaves
• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the eggplant and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Cut the bell peppers into strips. Set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the vegetables in this mixture until well coated.

Step 4

Grill the vegetables for 3-5 minutes per side or until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove them from the grill and set aside.

Step 5

Peel and grate the cucumber, and use a clean tea towel to squeeze out excess moisture. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, 1 minced garlic clove, lemon juice, dill, and mint leaves to make the tzatziki sauce. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 6

Slice the tomatoes and red onion into thin rounds. Crumble the feta cheese.

Step 7

Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the gyro platter, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce onto each pita, layer with grilled vegetables, and add fresh tomato and onion slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle with feta cheese and top with Kalamata olives.

Step 10

Serve each gyro with extra tzatziki sauce on the side, and enjoy the platter with additional sides like a simple Greek salad or lemony roasted potatoes.
