Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. 
2. In a large bowl, add onion and vinegar, toss to coat; set aside. 
3. Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl to expel as much water as possible. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu in 1” pieces. 
4. Arrange tofu in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Toss with oil; add coriander, paprika, red pepper flaked, cinnamon and salt. Toss well to coat. Roast tofu for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through. 
5. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt and garlic, season with salt.  
6. Assemble pitas by dividing yogurt among pitas, followed by tofu, cucumbers, drained pickled onion and a handful of mint. Serve and enjoy!
