These roasted chickpea gyros are always a hit with everyone that tries them! The chickpeas, once roasted with seasonings, take on a meaty texture and are delicious paired with crunchy vegetables, hummus and tzatziki.
My husband, prefers meat, so I sometimes will replace the chickpeas with chicken. You just need 1 pound of uncooked chicken-use the same seasoning, olive oil, and the same baking instructions.
Feel free to try some low carb pitas with this recipe if you're watching your carbs! I also love meal prep these roasted chickpeas. I usually turn it into a salad-lots of vegetables, tzatziki, hummus, chickpeas, and a little piece of pita! The last super well in the fridge for a few days!
Enjoy!
