How do you like the roll that is surrounding this big fat Roasted Vegetable Sandwich? Ed made it and quite a few more to tell you the truth.
You see, I asked my husband for a breadmaker for Christmas. His response was ‘Do you?’, kind of questioning. That’s all. Just ‘Do you?’.
So I went into ‘Yeah, I want to start making our own bread and I think with all my other cooking that would help me out a lot’.
He just pursed his lips and shook his head like – yeah, okay – that sounds good. End of conversation. I know he is thinking a whole lot more.
Sometimes he is quite. Sometimes he isn’t. Sometimes he makes me laugh!
So, we are at relatives at Christmas and we spend a lovely day and open all of our packages together. I got a slew of cool kitchen gadgets and a beautiful bread maker – I am all excited.
Everybody got cool stuff but I just really want to tell you my bread story.
When we get home I am rushing into the house with my arms full.
There are only 3 steps to go up and I am excited and I am hurrying and I can’t see the steps and my big toe catches on the step and I go down. Down hard!
The step edge goes right across my shin bone and I’m rolling back and forth on the ground holding my leg repeating over and over ‘Please, don’t be broken. Please, don’t be broken’.
It worked because my leg wasn’t broken but I was laid up 6 weeks. I kid you not!

Evidently, when Ed was pursing his lips and nodding yes back before Christmas he must have liked the whole idea of making our own bread too.
I don’t even think it was two days after my fall before he had the breadmaker out and started a basic loaf.
That was over five months ago and I haven’t made any bread yet. Haven’t bought any either. Ed makes all of our bread. What a good idea I had.
So, to make a long story short, hahaha! … To continue, I wanted a different kind of roll for this vegetable sandwich that I was thinking of.
Something that would look good in a photo for the blog. We were at Costco and I mentioned it to Ed and he said, ‘I’ll make you some!’. Great!

- When the peppers are black, take them out of the over.
- Let cool and then rub off the blackened skin with a damp paper towel or peel with a paring knife if you are having trouble. Just grab an edge of the skin with the knife and peel off.
- Cut out the stem end and take out all of the pepper seeds. Set aside.
- While the peppers are roasting. Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a skillet to medium heat.
- Add the onions and saute until the onions are translucent. About 10-15 minutes.
- You can also do the mushrooms at the same time. In fact, You can do all of this at the same time but you will dirty more pans. Do it all at once or do it back to back, overlapping a little.
- In a skillet heat 1 Tablespoon oil to medium high heat.
- Add the sliced sweet potatoes, brown on one side and then flip and brown on the other.
- Remove from heat and set aside.

Other Vegetable Sandwiches That You Really Should Make and I Think You’ll Like them a Lot!
This Cauliflower Po Boy Sandwich is one of those sandwiches that will surprise the heck out of you. It is amazingly delicious!
There are nine other sandwiches I want to show you and none of them are vegetable burgers. But I’ll restrain myself and just go for one more.
This one os the Loaded Chickpea Salad Sandwich. It’s become a classic!
Hi Owenna! I’d say the slices are about 1/4″ thick at the most. They are the layer on the very bottom on the bread. Cook until browned but not falling apart tender. You want to be able to handle them but still have them cooked.
How thick do you slice the sweet potatoes for this recipe. Do they need to be cooked until tender or just browned?
Hahaha! Aren’t I clever and it only took a little pain 🙂 Thanks so much Jenn!
I am so jealous! Yes, perfect! Thanks Christina 🙂
