Preparation
First make tzatziki sauce by combining all ingredients, mix well, and place in fridge.
Combine cut potatoes and chickpeas in a large mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl combine spices, oil, and lemon juice, then mix well.
Pour oil mixture over potatoes and chickpeas, making sure it is well coated.
Place potatoes and chickpeas on a parchment-lined large baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 25-35 minutes, rotating and flipping halfway through until crispy.
Wrap up in your favorite wrap-style bread, drizzle with tzatziki sauce, and add chopped red onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and store-bought vegan feta if desired.
Notes
Use a crinkle cutter knife for ridges on potatoes if desired.
