The Best Fluffy Pancakes recipe you will fall in love with. Full of tips and tricks to help you make the best pancakes.
This is my favorite sandwich to make. This one is a regular go-to for lunch. It’s easy to make, and of course adjust based on whatever vegetables are in season and in the fridge at the moment.
The key is the red-pepper jelly or jam along with some form of vegan non-cheese spread (vegan cream cheese or spreadable cheese), which tastes perfect with the jelly. The red habanero jelly really kicks it up a notch if you have it on hand (red pepper jelly is a usually non-spicy condiment that can serve as a great alternative).
Spicy vegan vegetable sandwich
An all raw vegetable sandwich that’s hard to beat. The red habanero jelly in this sandwich really kicks it up a notch if you have it on hand (red pepper jelly is a usually non-spicy condiment that can serve as a great alternative).

Ingredients
- 2 slices vegan bread toasted
- 1/4 cup tomato sliced
- 1/3 cup red bell pepper sliced
- 1/2 cup arugula or spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup basil chopped (about 4 leaves)
- 1 Tbsp nut-cheese spread store bought or homemade
- 2 Tbsp red pepper jelly store bought or homemade
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Toast the bread and add your condiments (spread and jelly).
- Slice vegetables, tomato, and red pepper and add to sandwich.
- Roll the arugula (or spinach) and basil into a cigar shape and julienne. I like to mix these into a small salad.
- Combine all ingredients into the sandwich and enjoy.
Notes
Vegan bread: Check the label for oil or any animal products. The less processed the better, so check for whole food ingredients. I sometimes use One Degree Veganic bread, which is a local brand although I also purchased it in California.
Vegan nut cheese spread: I love Treeline Cheese spread, Spread ‘Em (up here in Canada), or Miyoko’s Kitchen when I don’t have time to make my own. Make sure that you check the label for oil if purchasing a product. But making your own is always preferable. Subscribe for upcoming recipes!
Red habanero jelly: You can make your own, or find it in the store. I try to make mind with stevia. (Recipes coming soon!)
Add pickles: Pickle fans, let’s unite! I usually add pickles to all of my sandwiches, no matter whether they “go well” with the fillings or not. Serve with pickles or kale chips!

Vegan sandwich variations
There are a million ways to switch up any vegan sandwich, of course. The first way I switch it up is with the spread and nut milk based cheese.
- You can use hot sauce instead of the habanero jelly, or omit it altogether if you don’t feel like a spicy sandwich.
- Swap out the cheese spread for a vegan baked goat cheese, or a slice of vegan cheddar.
- If you are not on a low fat diet, add some avocado to your sandwich. This adjusts the nutritional value to approximately 18% of the total calories.
And naturally the vegetables and herbs. I always like some kind of herb in the sandwich though, as it adds a ton of flavor. I almost can’t eat the sandwich without a bit of basil, which adds such a fresh and strong herbal flavor to the sandwich. But parsley or cilantro is always a find addition.
I recommend chopping up the herbs with the lettuce and mixing them together.
