10 Best Vegan Sandwich Recipes
Savvy Vegetarian’s Bestest, Most Favorite & Most Popular All Vegan Sandwich Recipes
My feelings about sandwiches are expressed perfectly in the song I Like Sandwiches, written by Bob King and performed by Canadian children’s singer Fred Penner.
My kids and I knew Fred Penner’s sandwich song by heart and sang it daily. When they’d ask what was for lunch, I’d belt out the chorus:
Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I’d eat them all at once.
30 years later, whenever I eat sandwiches, Fred Penner’s sandwich song repeats in my head - and sometimes out loud. But Fred sings it SO much better!

4. Fried Tofu On a Bun:
Fried tofu is a versatile veggie cooking staple, perfect for sandwiches and wraps.
I like to slice a package of super firm tofu, sprinkle it with soy sauce or Braggs, fry it and store it in the fridge to satisfy sudden sandwich cravings.
Baked tofu also works well in sandwiches, and uses less oil.
5. Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Use your favorite veggie slices - Follow My Heart or Daiya are good brands, or homemade shreddable cheese like Suisse Melty Gruyere from World Vegan Feast.
Kids love grilled cheese sandwiches! Cream of Tomato & Chickpea Soup is perfect to go with because they can dip their sandwich in it.
6. Hummus & Avocado Wrap:
Make with store bought wheat tortillas, or homemade gluten free flatbread We like to add pesto, avocado, lettuce, cucumber. Pickles, olives, veggie cheez shreds, or tomatoes are all excellent additions.
The only limitation to your creativity is being able to pick it up and eat it!
7. Quinoa Burgers:
Start with cooked quinoa for an easy veggie burger that’s ready in a jiffy. Make the burger mix ahead for really fast food, and try the gluten free option.
Make extra patties so you’ll have enough to freeze (cooked or uncooked) for later. Cold quinoa burgers make great sandwiches.
8. Tofu Burgers:
Tofu burgers are so quick, easy & kid friendly, they can’t be beat, and they’re a sure way to get anybody to happily eat tofu. They hold together well on the grill but should be brushed with oil before grilling.
Make this recipe gluten free by using gf oats and whole grain gf flour such as millet or amaranth and serve on gf buns.
9. Tofu Salad Sandwich
Made with extra firm tofu and tofu mayonnaise. Enjoy as a sandwich spread or dip, easy appetizer or gf snack. Use sprouted grain bread & sandwich fixings for a complete meal.
Keep tofu salad on hand in the fridge for satisfying take along lunches or almost-instant suppers.
10. Walnut Quesadillas:
Sinfully delicious walnut olive spread on a gf tortilla, with spinach, arugula & dairy free mozzarella style cheeze shreds.
FYI: This recipe is high in fat, sodium and carbs. But trust me, you’ll eat half of one and be looking around for more!
