Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette, vegan
- 1 large beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup baby arugula
- 1 sliced tomato
- 0.5 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup pickled red onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the beetroot and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the beet slices in the herb mixture until well-coated.
Spread the beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the beets in the oven for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the beets are roasting, prepare the vegan aioli by mixing vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Slice the vegan baguette in half lengthwise.
Once the beets are done, assemble the sandwich by spreading the vegan aioli on both halves of the baguette.
Layer the roasted beet slices, baby arugula, sliced tomato, cucumber, and pickled red onion onto the bottom half of the baguette.
Place the top half of the baguette over the fillings to close the sandwich.
Cut the baguette into servings and enjoy your vegan baguette sandwich!
