These chickpea gyros are perfect and comforting. They are flavorful and make an excellent meatless dinner or lunch.
If you’re a frequent visitor to this website, then you know that I love Greek food. And no, I am not Greek. I just happened to have grown up near an amazing Greek restaurant in Chicagoland and got hooked on Greek flavors at a young age. The gyro is probably my favorite sandwich. But I am not always in the mood for heaps of meat on my sandwiches.
Roasted chickpeas have become one of my favorite snacks over these past few years. I love putting them on salads and snacking on them too. I decided to roast some chickpeas in the oven with my favorite Greek seasoning. These chickpeas pair well with fresh vegetables.
