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.
