Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the seitan seasoning.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Mix well to ensure spices are evenly distributed.
- 2
Toss the thinly sliced seitan with the seasoning blend in a medium bowl, ensuring each piece is coated.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use your hands for best coverage.
- 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the pan is hot before adding seitan to get a good sear.
- 4
Add the seasoned seitan to the hot pan in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Nota bucătarului: Overcrowding can steam the seitan instead of browning it.
- 5
Cook the seitan for 3-5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and slightly crispy.
Aproximativ 8 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adjust heat if needed to prevent burning.
- 6
While the seitan cooks, prepare the tzatziki by combining dairy-free plain yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh mint (if using), and salt in a small bowl.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Allow the tzatziki to sit for a few minutes for flavors to meld.
- 7
In another bowl, combine diced tomato, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh dill (if using) for the salad.
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 8
Warm the pita bread according to package instructions, either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Warm pita is more pliable and enjoyable.
- 9
Assemble the gyros by spreading a generous amount of tzatziki on each warm pita.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 10
Pile the cooked seitan onto the tzatziki, then top with the fresh tomato and cucumber salad.
Aproximativ 1 min.

Store leftover seitan, tzatziki, and salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Reheat seitan in a pan until warm; pita can be warmed in a skillet or microwave. Tzatziki and salad are best served cold.
