Jackfruit Gyros

Introducing the tastiest Jackfruit Gyros.

You might be wondering what a Gyros is? It is a classic Greek dish, with the meat traditionally cooked on a vertical spit and then wrapped in flatbread.

But as you know I don’t eat meat and can’t eat gluten so I have created a totally homemade gluten-free & vegan Gyros full of flavour for you to try at home.

This is the easiest and tastiest meat-free Gyros so definitely give it a try.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE ABOUT THIS JACKFRUIT GYROS

  • Easy
  • Comforting
  • Lunch or Dinner
  • Perfectly balanced
  • Vegan & Gluten-Free

Using these simple ingredients for the Jackfruit sauce.

Ingredients

Making the meat-free mix couldn’t be easier.

Simply adding ingredients to a pan until the flavours combine.

Honestly the flavours in the homemade Jackfruit sauce will totally surprise you.

Jackfruit Sauce

Jackfruit is a great meat-free alternative to use in recipes. If you haven’t tried it before then definitely try it.

Available in most supermarkets now, it’s a tasty option to try.

When pressing down the jackfruit it bursts and makes it a similar texture and look to pulled pork. 

Jackfruit Sauce

Once fried, simply add to the oven (if using an oven proof pan) or transfer to a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until it becomes a little crispy.

Obviously it wouldn’t be Gyros without a flatbread to wrap it in!

Being gluten-free I have to make my own. These homemade gluten-free flatbreads are perfect for wrapping up your Gyros.

Surprisingly using only 3 ingredients you can make these at home in around 10 minutes whilst your jackfruit is baking.

I follow my “The Best Gluten-Free Naan Bread” recipe.

Serve these up at the table and tuck in. It will be a recipe the family totally loves!

I love to add a few dollops of my Homemade Vegan Tzatziki to these along with any salad ingredients I have in the fridge such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber.
