Recipe Q&A
- → How can I make this dish gluten-free?
Use gluten-free wraps or pita breads and tamari instead of soy sauce. Always verify ingredient labels for possible gluten.
- → Can I replace tofu with other proteins?
Yes! Tempeh or chickpeas work well as alternatives, maintaining the vegan and protein-rich essence of the dish.
- → What vegetables are best for roasting in this dish?
Red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes provide flavor and vibrant color, but other veggies can be added.
- → Is the tahini-yogurt sauce essential?
The sauce adds tang and creaminess, but you can substitute with avocado mash, hummus, or simply drizzle olive oil.
- → How do I press tofu for best results?
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a towel. Place a heavy object on top for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- → Can I prepare components ahead?
Roast vegetables and tofu in advance; store in the fridge. Assemble wraps fresh and add sauce just before serving for best taste.
