The Best Vegan Gyro With Tofu
  1. For the BEST tofu gyro meat, freeze your tofu after draining and pressing it for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. Thaw out your tofu by placing it in warm water. Squeeze out excess water after it's defrosted.

  3. Slice your tofu into very thin strips.

  4. In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together your gyro marinade ingredients.

  5. Dip each tofu strip into the marinade, coating each side, then place on a large plate. Cover and let marinate for 1 hour in the fridge.

  6. Heat a large NON-STICK pan over MEDIUM/HIGH heat. Add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

  7. Cook tofu strips for ~3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another few minutes.

  8. At the end of cooking, add in 1 tbsp of water and cover the pan for 30 seconds.

  9. Repeat for all tofu strips, adding more oil as needed.

  10. Assemble your vegan gyro with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, vegan feta cheese, and tofu gyro meat.
