These roasted vegetable sandwiches are a go-to for an easy weeknight meal or picnic. This recipe is a hearty meal with protein and flavor from the rosemary garlic white bean spread slathered over chewy focaccia and topped with simple earthy roasted vegetables. Add some crunch and antioxidants with arugula or any greens you have on hand.
You can eat these sandwiches at room temperature but they are also great when heated in a panini press or oven. Even better, wrap them up and take them on your next hiking adventure or picnic. The focaccia makes these sandwiches a sturdy pack-and-go option.
If you have some prep time I highly recommend making your own focaccia. My Italian herbed, garlic and vegan parmesan focaccia recipe or my sun-dried tomato pesto focaccia recipe would work great for this sandwich.
