INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 cup vegetable broth
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 🍋 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
    • 2 teaspoons ground thyme
    • 🧄 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
    • 🧂 1 pinch pink Himalayan salt
    • 1 pinch ground black pepper
    • 1 (8 ounce) package tempeh
    • 4 (6 inch) whole wheat pitas
    • 🥒 2 small cucumbers, peeled and grated
    • 1 (12.3 ounce) package silken tofu
    • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (packed)
    • 🧄 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 🍅 2 tomatoes, sliced
    • 🧅 ½ red onion, thinly sliced

STEPS

1

Combine vegetable broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic, Himalayan salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl.

2

Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Cut tempeh in half; add it to the boiling water and boil to remove any bitter taste (about 10 minutes). Transfer tempeh to a cutting board and let cool slightly.

3

Cut tempeh into 1/4-inch slices and add to the vegetable broth marinade. Toss to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.

4

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5

Remove tempeh from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place tempeh on the prepared baking sheet and discard the remaining marinade.

6

Bake tempeh in the preheated oven until golden brown and beginning to crisp at the edges (30 to 35 minutes), flipping halfway.

7

Place pitas in the oven until warmed through (3 to 5 minutes).

8

Squeeze excess water from grated cucumbers using paper towels.

9

In a food processor, combine cucumbers, tofu, dill, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until blended. Adjust seasoning if necessary to create tzatziki sauce.

10

Assemble gyros by placing 1/4 of tempeh slices, tomatoes, and red onions on top of a pita; drizzle with tzatziki. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

💡 To save time, pre-marinade tempeh the night before.If you prefer a creamier tzatziki, use Greek yogurt as a substitute for tofu (for a non-vegan option).Customize your gyro by adding extra veggies like lettuce or bell peppers.Toast the pitas briefly for an additional layer of texture.
