Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato, sliced
  • spicy hummus (sriracha + soya sauce)
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 red onion, slices
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 cucumber, julienne
  • purple cabbage, shredded
  • handful sprouts
  • leafy greens (spinach, leafy greens, arugula)
  • 4 slices vegan cheese
  • pickled jalapeños, gherkins, pickled red onions
  • 4 slices multigrain bread

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400º F.  Prepare a baking sheet by adding a sheet of parchment. 

Baked Sweet Potato Slices (optional)

  • Wash and slice a large sweet potato into ½" thick slices.
  • Place in a bowl, drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil, season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, hot pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lemon juice - toss to coat.
  • Transfer to a prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Cook for ~12 minutes (flip the slices) and then cook for another 8 minutes or until tender but crispy.
  • *Turn the stove to broil for the last minute or two to crisp up if desired.

Hummus

  • Hummus, use your favorite store bought brand or homemade hummus. Add a generous squirt of sriracha sauce and a teaspoon of tamari or soy sauce - stir to incorporate.

Prepare Veggies and Toppings

  • Chop or slice the tomatoes, avocados, red onions, cucumbers, grate the carrots and wash/pat dry the leafy greens and sprouts.
  • Gather together spicy pickled onions, pickled jalapeños, non-dairy cheese, and any additional veggies you prefer.

To Serve

  • Slather the bread slice with hummus, vegan butter or mayo or vegan honey mustard. Add the flat sturdy vegetables first then pile on the leafy greens, sprouts and top with pickles, pickled onions, and another slice of bread. Cut in half and enjoy!

Notes

Cut the vegetables flat.
Don't stack two slippery vegetables on top of each other.
Don't over stuff the sandwich.
Toast the bread if necessary for stability or stuff a pita pocket or a bagel.
Serve with extra napkins.
