1.
Vegan BLT Sandwich (click for the recipe)
You might be thinking, “How are you doing ‘Bacon Lettuce Tomato’ without the bacon?” The simple answer is that we use tempeh bacon. Tempeh is an awesome vegan staple that is composed of pressed grains, and it’s packed full of protein.

Vegan Banh Mi (click for the recipe)
If you haven’t had a Banh Mi sandwich, then you are missing out on one the best sandwiches in the world. Banh Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich that traditionally is served with beef. But the majority of the Banh Mi flavors come from the fixings that on the sandwich, so replacing the beef with tofu is practically unnoticeable.

When you are new to the plant-based diet, you could crave some meat products you used to eat. Chik-Fil-A is one of the most common sandwiches that is hard for people to give up. It could be because they put MSG in their chicken breading. But you will learn that you can really deep fry anything to taste like Chik-Fil-A.

Vegan Gyros (click for the recipe)
Some might question if a gyro is a sandwich, but I say “Yes it’s wrapped in pita bread!” There are few meat substitutes you can make gyros with, like tempeh, tofu, falafel, or Beyond beef kafta. Whatever meat substitute you choice, the other flavors are pretty standard, and can be replicated with vegan options.

This sandwich is amazing, and the primary flavor combinations for this recipe are easily made with vegan ingredients. The key is in the sauce, so don’t forget it, and don’t hold back with your spices. If you want the sandwich to be 100% better, grill it in the pan with butter.

7.
Vegan Cuban Sandwich (click for the recipe)
I am seriously addicted to this sandwich. Sometimes I even dream about it, it’s that good. I actually like the vegan version far better than when I used to eat meat. Typically a Cuban sandwich is made with slow cooked pork. The substitute for that is a slow cooked jackfruit, and no joke, my meat-eating friends can’t tell the difference.

8.
Vegan Grilled Philly Cheese (click for the recipe)
A Philly cheese steak is hard to replicate, I honestly get a vegan Philly Cheese steak everytime I see it on the menu at a vegan restaurant. In this version, I didn’t try to replicate the steak, this simply takes the other flavor elements to create a Philly style Grilled cheese.

9.
Vegan Grilled Italian Sausage (click for the recipe)
The Italian Sausage sandwich is actually very easy to replicate. If you understand the flavor components of Italian sausage, then you can make almost anything taste like Italian sausage. In this case, I used tempeh because it also replicates the texture of sausage too.

10.
Vegan Chicken Salad Sandwich (click for the recipe)
Traditionally chicken salad is a great summer sandwich and is typically made from leftovers. In this case, the chicken is replaced with slow cooked jackfruit. Once you have the chicken replacement, you tailor your chicken salad to however your grandma used to make. In my version, I experimented with tailoring it with Gojuchang and Korean flavors.
