Vegan Balsamic Sweet Potato Grilled Cheese Sandwich

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’m a big fan of grilled sandwiches.

I even have a little tradition called “Saturday stacks“, which is when I go to the gym on Saturday morning then come back super hungry and make giant sandwiches for myself and Ross.

Even though I post photos of my sammies all the time, I haven’t shared many sandwich recipes here on the blog. Usually my sandwiches are some variation of the template outlined in this post, but every once in a while I come up with a combination I just can’t get enough of.

Ingredients

• 1 medium sweet potato
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil, melted
• 4 slices bread of your choice
• 2 tablespoons vegan mayonaise
• handful of greens
• ½ red onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic reduction
• ¼ cup shredded vegan cheddar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°.
2. Scrub the sweet potato, then use a knife to cut thin slices that are ¼"- ½" thick. In a large bowl, toss the slices with the coconut oil. Spread the slices out on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes (flipping halfway), until the slices are lightly browned.
3. Preheat the panini press (see above for alternatives).
4. To assemble the sandwiches, lay four slices of bread out on a cutting board. Spread the vegan mayo on the bread. Add greens to two of the pieces of bread.
5. Layer the sweet potato slices over the greens. Next, add the and red onion. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over everything. Sprinkle the vegan cheese on top, then top with the other two slices of bread.
