Description
This scrumptious recipe brings together roasted sweet potatoes and hearty black beans, wrapped in whole grain bread and topped with a melty layer of vegan cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1/2 cup vegan cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup roasted sweet potato cubes
- 1/2 cup cooked black beans
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
Instructions
- If your sweet potato cubes are not already cooked, it’s essential to roast them until they achieve a soft, tender texture. This can be done by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spreading the cubes on a baking sheet. When they’re fork-tender, they’re ready to combine with the other ingredients.
- Begin assembling your sandwiches by laying out two slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface. Start by evenly sprinkling your vegan cheddar cheese on one slice. Next, add a generous portion of the soft roasted sweet potato cubes followed by cooked black beans. Place the second slice of bread on top, creating a complete sandwich.
- Take your two assembled sandwiches and carefully spread vegan butter on the outer sides of each piece of bread. Place the sandwiches in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Allow them to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to promote even cooking. Once golden, flip the sandwiches and cook the other side until the cheese melts and filling is warm.
Notes
You can prepare the sweet potatoes and black beans ahead of time. Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
