Vegan sandwiches are great alternatives to chicken or pork ones and taste good too. There are various varieties and ways you can make vegan sandwiches and enjoy them for lunch. According to Matthew Davies, vegan sandwiches are easy to make with little time and effort and fit your busy lifestyle perfectly.
The Sandwiches
Listed below are some vegan sandwiches that are perfect for lunch:
- Farmer’s market veggie sandwich– For all of you who wish to have a nut-free and dairy-free sandwich, this one’s for you. This is also a no-cook sandwich and can be a great option for those who don’t enjoy cooking. Just pile all your favorite seasonal vegetables on gluten-free bread and you are ready to go. Slices of tomatoes, cucumber, onion, capsicum, or lettuce leaves; use your imagination and taste to come up with your choice of vegan sandwich.
- Smashed chickpea avocado sandwich– Easy to make and pack for lunch, this sandwich is quite tasty and nutritious as well. It includes chickpeas, avocado, and lots of great seasonings literally smashed to make the sandwich filling. As chickpeas are a good source of protein this sandwich is good for children and for those who require a protein-rich diet. Avocado is loaded with fiber and heart-healthy fatty acids which make this sandwich incredibly nutritious.
- Sweet potato grilled sandwich– Sporting a sweet and salty flavor, this sandwich is very easy to make with only a few ingredients. Roast the sweet potatoes and balance the sweetness with the salty cheese and slightly bitter greens. You can cook a big batch of sweet potatoes and keep the slices in the fridge to be used later as they can last for about five days there. Grill the sandwich and be ready to taste something that is truly heavenly.
- Vegan ‘BLT’ sandwich– This sandwich looks as yummy as it tastes. It requires preparing your eggplant bacon and vegan mayo beforehand. After the preparation is complete, it can be prepared in minutes. Take the base bread that should be whole grain bread if you want a healthy recipe and then spread vegan mayo or hummus on it. Put some lettuce and tomato on the bacon, making it the perfect BLT stuffing. You may also use onion rings on it if you like.
- Portobello Banh Mi sandwich– This delicious sandwich is made from meaty portobello mushrooms that give a tasty twist to your regular veggie sandwiches. The sour-fresh crunch is prepared from the pickled vegetables and mushrooms and together with the crusty bread, they make a mouth-watering sandwich. You may customize it by adding spices and flavors of your choice thereby turning it into a more delicious lunch.
