Ingredients

For the Basil Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts or almonds
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 tablespoons Greek Yogurt or Skyr any fat concentration

For the Roast Veggies:

  • 3 cups chopped mixed veggies such as: mushrooms sweet bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, onions and tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Assembling the sandwiches:

  • 4 ciabatta or baguette sandwich breads
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • Extra Parmesan for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 420 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add in the mixed veggies along with the seasoning and toss well. Swap up your favorite veggies or add more to the mix.
  2. Roast the veggies for 18-22 minutes until tender.
  3. In the meantime, make the creamy basil sauce. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy. Feel free to adjust seasoning, lemon juice, and thickness. Add a little water to the sauce if you prefer a runny one and a little extra skyr or yogurt if you order a thicker sauce.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a thick layer of basil sauce on both sides of the sandwich bread. On the bottom part of the bread, layer some spinach, roast veggies, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, pinch of pepper flakes and a drizzle of olive oil.

Recipe Notes

  • I used my favorite veggies, but you can certainly throw in extra. I recommend a mix of firmer veggies like bell peppers, carrots, onions and mushrooms with some more watery like tomatoes and zucchini. 
  • Add some more water or vinegar to the basil sauce to make it thinner. 
  • Feel free to add some goat cheese or brie to the sandwiches once ready to assemble.
