vegan filled flatbread with many variations

Wash the eggplant and trim off the stem. Slice the vegetables lengthwise. Cut the slices crosswise into thin strips, roughly the size of gyro pieces or French fries. Mix the eggplant strips with the gyro seasoning, salt, pepper, and oil, adding soy sauce if desired. Let everything sit for a while while you prepare the other ingredients. Wash the zucchini and trim off the stem. Halve the vegetables lengthwise and thinly slice. Peel the carrot, halve lengthwise, and slice diagonally into thin slices. Clean the spring onions and slice the white and light green parts finely and the green parts wider. Heat a little oil in a cast-iron skillet. Fry the eggplant strips over medium heat until cooked through and lightly browned. Then remove the strips from the skillet and keep warm in the oven. Add new oil to the pan and fry the zucchini, carrots, and spring onions with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until cooked through but still crisp. Cut the bell pepper and cucumber into bite-sized pieces, and cut the feta into chunks or strips. Prepare guacamole or other sauces as desired. Remove the eggplant from the oven and briefly bake the flatbread in it. Quarter the flatbread and serve with the eggplant, the other roasted vegetables, soy yogurt, bell pepper, cucumber, and your chosen sauce. This way, everyone can fill their flatbread as they wish. As an alternative to the roasted vegetables, you can simply use coleslaw, tomatoes, cucumber, and green salad, or add other ingredients as desired.
