I’ve included 20+ vegan sandwiches; everything from fast food sandwich ideas (like a vegan Popeyes Chicken sandwich recipe) to classic sandwiches like Vegan BLT, Clubhouse or Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches! I listed my top sandwich ideas so that you can make vegan sandwiches that taste and look like the ones you grew up on!
Vegan Sandwich Recipe Ideas
This list of vegan sandwich ideas are for anyone looking for plant-based sandwiches for their family and friends; whether you’re vegan or not-so-vegan. I make vegan recipes appealing and tasty to non-vegans too so that they can see how amazing vegan food can be! I’ve listed a range of ideas to make your own vegan sandwiches at home. From here, you can change up the recipes however you’d like.
