Oh, the good ol’ trusted sandwich. There’s not a lot of meals that this bad boy can’t save! It makes a great work or school lunch, a quick dinner when you’re busy, a perfectly packable picnic or road trip meal, a beautiful appetizer when you’re entertaining. And there are no rules! You can use your favorite bread, be it whole, white, or gluten-free, and you can use fillings beyond the imagination. Are we making it sound magical? Because sandwiches are magical, you guys. Or they can be… Check out some of favorite vegetarian sandwiches below and feel free to start mentally checking your pantry for the ingredients:
10 Tasty Vegetarian Sandwich Recipes
1. Maple Apple, Caramelized Onion & Tempeh Bacon Panini
Vegetarian bacon FTW! Savory tempeh bacon, jammy caramelized onions, and sautéed maple apples make this panini irresistible. We love it served hot for dinner (Netflix may or may not be involved).
2. Panera-Inspired Tomato Mozzarella Panini
For Panera’s Tomato Mozzarella Panini nostalgics, this is it! A remake of the famous panini sandwich, but even more delicious since it’s homemade.
3. Vegetarian Muffuletta
4.Quick and Easy Grilled Sandwich
A grilled cheese sandwich is comfort food at its finest. Upgrade yours with sundried tomatoes and an olive tapanade, and serve next to a tomato cream soup for the best tastebud experience.
5. Summer Vegetable Sandwiches with Chimichurri Aioli
Not only does this sandwich pack all of summer’s goodness plus chimichurri aioli, it’s also vegan! The tofu-based sauce balances the taste and textures so you definitely won’t miss cheese.
6. Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches with Havarti & Balsamic Drizzle
Grilled vegetables are stacked onto crusty bread and layered with pesto, balsamic drizzle, and melty havarti cheese. Food for the body, food for the soul.
7. Vegetarian Banh Mi with Healthier Coconut Oil Mayo
With tofu, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and tamari, this vegetarian bahn mi is delicious. But what takes it to the next level and gives it a twist is the coconut oil mayonnaise! It’s just so good, not to mention healthier than the regular one.
8. Fresh Mozzarella and Roasted Red Pepper Panini with Arugula-Walnut Pesto
Roasted red peppers are such a versatile ingredient! Make them in advance, and make the pesto, too. Putting together these paninis will be the easiest thing you’ve done all week.
9. Heirloom Tomato & Coconut Bacon BLT with Basil Aioli
BLT is such a classic, but let’s be honest – it’s not the healthiest of sandwiches, despite having two veggies inside! This vegetarian version replaces the bacon with healthier coconut bacon, and brings taste to a whole new level with heirloom tomatoes and a basil aioli.
10. Fresh Mozzarella and Butternut Panini with Sage
Ever wondered what fall tastes like? This sandwich will thoroughly explain it, bite after bite! It’s made with sliced butternut squash, fresh mozzarella and fresh sage leaves.
