Grill in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and charred.

Alternatively, roast in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 minutes.

3. Assemble the Wraps:

Warm the flatbreads in a pan or oven.

Lay down a handful of spinach or arugula.

Top with grilled veggies, a generous spoon of tzatziki, and crumbled feta.

Garnish with fresh dill or parsley.

4. Wrap & Serve:

Roll up the wrap tightly. Serve warm or chilled.

Tips

Char for Flavor: Grill vegetables until they get a nice char—it adds a smoky depth that elevates the wrap.

Dry Your Cucumber: Squeeze the grated cucumber well before mixing into the tzatziki to prevent it from becoming watery.

Warm the Wraps: Slightly warm flatbreads in a skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll.

Meal Prep Friendly: Grill a large batch of veggies and store in the fridge. Assemble wraps fresh when ready to eat.

Tzatziki Shortcut: Use store-bought tzatziki if short on time—but homemade is fresher and more flavorful.

Variations

Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, lamb, or chickpeas for extra protein.

Vegan Option: Skip the feta and use plant-based yogurt for tzatziki.

Low-Carb Wrap: Use lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas.

Add Hummus: Spread a layer of hummus along with tzatziki for added richness.

Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili flakes or drizzle with harissa or hot sauce for a kick.

More Veggies: Add roasted eggplant, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
