Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 2 tbsp olive oil (cooking meatballs &garlic/onion/mushrooms)
- 1 can of white beans (drained/rinsed)
- 1/2 cup nuts, chopped
- 1 cup slice mushrooms, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped (finely)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 1/2 tbsps fresh oregano (or 1tsp dried)
- Salt/Pepper as needed
- 3 tbsps Follow Your Heart vegan eggs mixed with 6 tbsps water
- 3/4 cup Panko
Tzatziki Sauce:
- 1 cup plain vegan yogurt
- 1/2 cup english cucumber, sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tbsps fresh dill, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dry dill)
- 2 tsps garlic, minced
- salt to taste
Other:
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1 cup sliced English cucumber
- 1 cup arugula
- 3 whole wheat flatbreads
Instructions
- Meatballs: Make the vegan eggs, set aside. The mixture should be slightly thick.
- Take all the prepped ingredients and combine in a large bowl sightly mashing together. You want to have at least 75% mashed with some beans still there to hold everything together. Form Balls and set aside.
- In a large skillet heat the olive oil to med/high heat and cook the balls making sure to cook the entire ball 5-7 mins. The more balls on the pan the longer it takes to cook.
- Make the Tzatzki sauce: In a small bowl combine everything together, set aside.
- Assemble the gyros: to a flatbread (I like to warm mine up so they are more pliable) add arugula, Tzatziki sauce, and 2 meatballs. Top with sliced red onion, diced tomato, sliced cucumber, and additional Tzatziki sauce.
Notes

It looks like you baked the balls on a parchment-lined pan.
Hi Liz, The image is to convey what the balls look like before and after cooking. You’re welcome to bake them, however, I’m not sure they will hold together as well and will take on a drier texture.
What kind of nuts do you suggest?
Hi Tony! I believe I used walnuts, but again, you can use whichever you like!
Do you cook the onions, mushrooms and garlic before adding to the meatball mix?
Hi Kendra! You absolutely can, but it’s not required. If you skip the cooking, just make sure the onion is finely chopped. If you cook the ingredients I’d do the mushrooms first, then add the onion, then lastly the garlic to prevent it from burning. Let me know how they turn out!
