Air Fryer Lamb Gyro

Air Fryer Lamb Gyro —I’m a cook who loves experimenting with new recipes and flavors. My favorite food is lamb gyros, so I decided to see if I could make them in my air fryer. The results were fantastic!

Do you love gyros? You are not alone. Gyros are very popular in the United States, especially with people who enjoy Mediterranean-style cuisine. If you have never had a lamb gyro before, this is your perfect opportunity to try one! It’s delicious and easy to make at home.

Today, I made a great version of lamb gyros by making lamb patties out of ground lamb and perfectly seasoned them. They were terrific, and if you love lamb, you will love them!

Then I added some typical gyro fillings to pita bread and made a significant and delicious Air Fryer Lamb Gryo Sandwich! It was served with a Greek Salad and some tzatziki sauce, and it was an excellent and easy dinner–all made in the Air Fryer!

What Is A Gyro?

Have you ever heard of a gyro? Gyros are one of the most popular Mediterranean dishes. They are usually beef or lamb cooked on a vertical rotisserie with other ingredients like onion and tomatoes.

As it turns out, there is quite an interesting story behind this dish! Have you ever wondered what makes the name “gyro”? The term “gyros” comes from the Greek word for a turn which was initially spelled as γύρος. It simplified to just “yiras” in Turkish, getting our modern word for “gyro”!
