Not only are these vegan sandwiches great for healthy lunch ideas, but both sandwiches recipes don’t include any added oil or sugar. For the Tofu Katsu Sandwich I make a vegan recipe Tonkatsu sauce and bake in the oven until light and crispy rather than frying the tofu katsu. For the roasted vegetable sandwich I up the anti by making another vegan recipe for an olive tapenade that doesn’t use any oil to spread on the vegetable sandwich. This makes for extra tasty vegan sandwich recipes that are irresistible. The Tofu Katsu sandwich also makes for a great addition to vegan protein sandwich recipes.
