The Best Vegan Sandwich for Fall Inspired Lunch Recipe

The Best Vegan Sandwich for Fall Inspired Lunch Recipe

Fall-Inspired Vegan Sandwich

Preparation: 5 Minutes Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Barbara Zeiss

The air feels crisp, and the days grow shorter. It’s the perfect season for comforting meals! This fall, switch things up with a hearty vegan sandwich. While everyone’s embracing pumpkins, let's not forget butternut squash—ideal for a warm, delicious lunch. Indulge in the flavors of roasted veggies, creamy spreads, and toasted plant-based vegan bread to create the perfect sandwich that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Get creative with seasonal ingredients for a lunch that’s bursting with autumn vibes! 

As its name suggests, butternut squash has a lovely nutty flavor that pairs excellently with savory ingredients. In the following recipe, I combined butternut squash with flavors such as garlic, arugula, tahini, and Yellowbird Sriracha: a clean, 100% organic option for your hot sauce needs. And who doesn’t want a bit of spice to warm their bones on a chilly day? But the hero of any sandwich is some quality, delicious bread. We used our Plantiful Everything Bagel Bread; grain free, gluten free, and paleo friendly, this incredible and nutritious bread brings an amazing depth of flavor to the sandwich.

This meal is the perfect way to spice up your fall day! And if you're looking for some other fall-inspired recipes, read our posts on a pumpkin butter recipe and our easy bread pudding.

 

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat oven to 375  F convection setting.

  2. Place the butternut squash on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika to season. Bake for 30 minutes until soft. Remove from oven and set aside. (you can use an air fryer instead)

  3. As the squash is cooking, place the tahini, almond milk, garlic, sriracha, lemon juice, and pinch of salt into a powerful blender. Blend until smooth, adding water 1 tbsp at a time as needed to reach desired consistency.

  4. To assemble your sandwiches, place arugula on the bottom halves of the toasted bagels, then the roasted butternut squash slices. Spread 1 tbsp of the sriracha sauce on the top halves of the bagels, and place on top.

And voila! An easy, flavorful sandwich that will make your gut happy.
