- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- juice of large lemon
- pinch cayenne pepper optional

- 1 tbsp oregano
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- ½ small red onion finely sliced
- ¼ cup flat parsley or dill roughly chopped
- cherry tomatoes sliced
Instructions
For the Cauliflower
- Defrost the cauliflower overnight in the refrigerator or a couple of hours at room temperature. Cut any bigger pieces so the florets are roughly the exact same size for even cooking.
- Drain the cauliflower and dry it as far as possible on paper towel or a clean tea towel if needed. Put into a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the cauliflower and toss. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, but a couple of hours is greatest.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a large baking-sheet, or line it with parchment paper. Spread out the cauliflower on baking-sheet, making sure there is distance between each floret.
- When the oven has preheated thoroughly, put the cauliflower on a center rack and roast for 25-35 minutes, tossing once half way through. Prepare your toppings and tzatziki.
Assembling the Gyro Wraps
- Warm the flat-breads by wrapping them in foil and putting them into the oven during the last couple of minutes of roasting the cauliflower.
- Layer the cauliflower, veggies, tzatziki and olives the center of a warm flatbread. Then fold the sides of this flatbread within the fillings.
- Wrap in parchment or foil to make things less cluttered, if wanted.
Notes
Store leftover cauliflower, toppings and flatbread individually. Those wraps are best assembled just before serving.
