Farm Stand Favorites: Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches
We go to the farm stand twice a week. I let the boys pick out their favorites that day and plan the next few meals around whatever is on sale.
One of my favorite ( and cheapest) veggie meals is grilled veggie sandwiches. I cheat and roast the veggies more often than not. I put whatever veggies I have on hand, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, asparagus etc., cut them into chunks and put in a bowl. A generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper goes on top. Stir to coat veggies with the oil. Dump onto a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. Which veggies you roast can change the time a bit but I start checking at 30 minutes and they are usually perfect at 40 minutes.
Unless it bread baking day and I have made rolls, I put the roasted veggies into a whole wheat tortilla.( which I buy on sale and keep in my freezer) Depending on the eater the protein is a sprinkle of cheese or some canned white beans rinsed.
Variations could included a drizzle of balsamic vinegar if you have some, roasted garlic spread, or some chevre bits.
Hearty, inexpensive and good for you. It's amazing what vegetables kids will eat if they get to pick them out too!
