Preparation
Bake the falafels & zucchini
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Thinly slice the zucchini crosswise. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil, the spices and S&P.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the falafels with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the zucchini and bake, flipping halfway, 8 to 10 min., until the falafels are warmed through and crunchy and the zucchini is tender.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve the lettuce lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
Warm the pita
- Warm the pita directly on an oven rack, 1 to 2 min., until soft and pliable.
Make the salad & serve
- In a large bowl, whisk the molasses, vinegar, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Add the lettuce and zucchini; toss well.
- Divide the pita between your plates.
- Spread with the tzatziki.
- Top with a spoonful of the salad and the falafels.
- Tightly wrap the pita around the filling.
- Serve the remaining salad on the side. Bon appétit!
