Roasted Veggie Sandwich with Hummus and Tahini Dressing | Vegan, Gluten-Free

I used to think that sandwiches had to have some sort of meat and/or cheese in order to fit in the traditional ‘sandwich box’, but as I got more and more comfortable in the kitchen and experimented, I realized that a sandwich can be anything in-between two slices of bread. The possibilities are endless! I always make sure to use healthy multigrain and wholegrain bread as well.

This can be a great Meatless Monday meal. It’s a sandwich, but with a little fancy twist, adding some yummy tahini dressing on top, and using freshly roasted veggies make it warm and satisfying. I made a white bean hummus, and then used a simple tahini salad dressing mixed with crushed fresh basil. Delicious and fresh!

You can use whatever bread you prefer, gluten-free if needed, but I recommend something healthier and tastier than white bread 😉

Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 slices organic bread of your choice (multigrain, or spelt/Kamut, or gluten-free)
• 2 thick slices organic zucchini (cut lengthwise)
• 2 slices carrots (cut lengthwise)
• 2 slices beet

White Bean Hummus

• 398 ml canellini white beans
• 1 Tbsp organic tahini (fair-trade if possible)
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• cayenne powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika powder
• 1 garlic clove peeled
• 1-2 Tbsp fresh parsley minced
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• black pepper
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Tahini Dressing

• 1/4 cup organic raw apple cider vinegar
• 3 Tbsp organic tahini
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 1/2 tsp maple syrup or raw organic honey
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• black pepper to taste

Instructions

• Prepare the hummus by simply putting all the ingredients (for the hummus part only) in a food processor and pulsing until smooth. Set aside.
• Prepare the tahini dressing by combining all the ingredients (for the dressing part only) into a medium-size mason jar and shaking until mixed.
• In a large pan over medium heat, with a dash of olive oil, simply sear the slices of zucchini, carrots, and beets, about 2 minutes per sides.
• While this is cooking, toast your bread slices.
• If you have a pestle and mortar, use it to crush a few leaves of fresh organic basil, or use a spoon. It doesn't have to be perfect, just bruise and crush the leaves as much as possible.
• Assemble the sandwich: put some hummus on top of the bread, then put the veggie slices, add the crushed basil leaves and drizzle with a generous amount of the tahini dressing. Put more hummus on the other slice of bread and top it off.
• Enjoy!
