I had a rendition of this sandwich at a cafe in Malibu earlier this year and I just loved the idea of adding slices of roasted, herbed sweet potato to a veggie sandwich.
The sandwich came with a chipotle mayo, which is one of my favorite sandwich condiments, so I instead I created a vegan chipotle mayo using cashews and canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce.
I created some homemade pickled cabbage and layered all of this with some sliced avocado, cucumber and greens. The result is a delicious combination of sweet and spicy flavors that make this sandwich a winner!
