Indulge in savory air-fried lamb gyros with crispy herb fries. Perfect comfort food with crazy good flavors and textures!
Ingredients
- • Boneless lamb shoulder: 1 pound, sliced thin
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • Fresh rosemary: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • Fresh thyme: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Greek yogurt: 1 cup
- • Cucumber: 1/2, grated
- • Fresh dill: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • Pita bread: 4 rounds
- • Potatoes: 3 large, cut into fries
- • Paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Dried oregano: 1 teaspoon
- • Olive oil spray: as needed
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a bowl, combine sliced lamb, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the lamb is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- 3 While the lamb is marinating, prepare the herb fries. Toss the potato fries with olive oil spray, paprika, and dried oregano. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- 4 Air fry the fries for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- 5 Place the marinated lamb slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred.
- 6 In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, and dill to make a refreshing tzatziki sauce. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
- 7 Warm the pita bread in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.
- 8 To assemble the gyros, spread tzatziki sauce on each pita, top with air-fried lamb, and serve with crispy herb fries on the side.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these delightful air-fried lamb gyros with a side of the crispy herb fries for an indulgent meal. Garnish the gyros with slices of ripe tomatoes and red onion for added freshness. Pair this dish with a glass of chilled white wine or a light beer to complement the rich flavors. For an extra layer of indulgence, consider serving with a side of feta cheese crumbles and black olives, enhancing the Mediterranean vibe. These gyros are perfect for a casual dinner party or a cozy night in.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover lamb and fries in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the lamb and fries in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until warmed through. This method keeps the fries crispy and the lamb juicy. The tzatziki sauce can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days as well. Stir before using, as some separation may occur.
