Roasted Veg Pizza Sandwich

Roasted Veg Pizza Sandwich

This Roasted Veg Pizza Sandwich is hands-down the best sandwich I’ve ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. Packed with layers of flavour and loaded with wholesome veggies, it’s the perfect go-to for a satisfying, plant-based lunch. Think smoky roasted eggplant and capsicum, juicy balsamic mushrooms, melty vegan cheese, and a generous hit of Italian Bomba Spicy Spread from Bippi Foods. All tucked into crispy, golden ciabatta slices. Finished with rocket, fresh basil, and green olives, every bite is bursting with bold, savoury goodness. A delicious, veggie-packed lunch option you’ll come back to again and again.

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 50 Minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

Roasted Veg:

• 1 eggplant, sliced lengthwise into 0.5mm slices 
• 1 capsicum, sliced 
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp Italian Bomba Spicy Spread
• pinch of salt and pepper 

Mushrooms:

• 5 portobello mushrooms
• 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar 
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp tamari 
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder 
• pinch of salt and pepper

Other:

• 1 large ciabatta loaf, sliced in half length and width wise (to create two sandwiches) 
• 4 tbsp tomato paste 
• 2 tsp Italian Bomba Spicy Spread
• 4 slices vegan cheese
• 2 handfuls rocket 
• 2 tbsp fresh basil, diced 
• 2 tbsp green olives, pitted and diced

 

Preparations:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C and line three baking trays. 


2. Line the eggplant and capsicum on one baking try. Drizzle over the olive oil, Italian Bomba Spicy Spread and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender and the capsicum is beginning to char. 


3. Line the mushrooms on another baking tray. In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, tamari, garlic powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle over the mushrooms and use your hands to coat throughly. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. 


4. Line the ciabatta slices over the baking tray. Spread a tablespoon of tomato paste over each slice. Top the bottom halves with the vegan cheese, and spread a teaspoon of the Italian Bomba Spicy Spread over the top slices. Bake in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until crispy and the cheese is beginning to melt. 


5. To build the sandwich, layer the eggplant over the bottom/cheesy slice of the ciabatta. Top with the capsicum, rocket, basil, olives, portobello mushrooms and close with the top slice of the ciabatta. Slice and serve.
