About the Sandwich:  Using the stir/fry/steaming technique produces tender vegetables that are lightly seared. These vegetables are delicious to use in sandwiches. We added a layer of pepper cheese that helped hold the sandwich together. It will work with any vegetable combination and any type of bun or roll.

Why Root Vegetables are such a perfect sandwich to make:

  • It’s delicious when hot or cold.
  • This is a super versatile recipe, and you can switch out the root vegetables and greens you use.
  • You can also make this sandwich by featuring one single favorite vegetable and/or by making single portion sliders.
  • This doesn’t even need bread – try a wrap.

Stir/Fry/Steam the Vegetables:  Start cooking the denser veggies like the beets first. Add about 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a 10” cast iron pan. Season lightly with salt. Stir-fry just long enough to get a little browning on the veggies. Add about a Tablespoon or two of water to the pan; quickly cover with a lid to trap the steam inside. Steam vegetables for 5 minutes. Check for doneness with a fork; add 2 Tablespoons water if additional steaming is required. Remove the vegetables to a larger plate to stay warm.

Continue stir-fry-steaming other vegetables using the above procedure.

Build the Sandwich: Place the vegetables as desired over the cheese layer. Spread a layer of mayo on the inside of the bun top and close the sandwich.
