Rainbow roast vegetable sandwich

Jump to Recipe

Why have a salad sandwich when you can have a hearty and juicy roast vegetable sandwich with a smoky beetroot hummus and a nutty kale pesto? With the weather cooling down and long work days, I’m craving packable, quick, nutritious and wholesome lunches that will fill me up.

In a busy work week, I like to make sure I’m eaten all of the right stuff so I don’t feel gluggy at the end of the week. However, I always find veggie sandwiches a rip off at cafes as they are so easy and cheap to make at home! Unlike cafes which skimp on the veggies, this sandwich is packed with 8 vegetables! This includes beetroot, zucchini, pumpkin, capsicum, avocado (fruit or vegetable?), carrot, sprouts and kale.

I used Bakers Delight‘s Mixed Seed Sourdough Bread which was delicious fresh but even better toasted. I don’t often eat bread but when I do, I’m picky about it and choose the best. Their sourdough has minimal ingredients and no preservatives which I really appreciate!

    H Anthea,
    What a lovely sandwich. Couple of questions..

    Do you make the beet pesto with raw beets or roast them?
    Also, do you use raw almonds(with the skin) or blanch them for the kale pesto?

    Thank you

      Thanks Deborah!

      The beetroot was blanched (I’ve now updated the recipe). I used roasted almonds for this recipe (almonds with the skin on) as I prefer the taste of them to raw almonds. Thanks 🙂

    These look sooo pretty Anthea and I have to agree with you about the cafe bought sandwiches. I have to shop today : ( so I’ll make sure that I have all the ingredients. Thank you once again for another lovely recipe.
