Best Vegan BBQ Sandwich

THEE best Vegan BBQ sandwich with a mayo free easy coleslaw!

When it comes to creating the perfect vegan BBQ sandwich, the key is in the flavor-packed ingredients and the right cooking techniques. My recipe combines hearty lentils, grated carrots, savory spices, and a tangy BBQ sauce for a mouthwatering plant-based twist on the classic BBQ favorite.

To start, cook lentils in flavorful vegetable stock until tender and infused with rich taste. Then, sauté shallots, shredded carrots, and a blend of spices in avocado oil until aromatic. Add the cooked lentils to the mix and simmer until the flavors meld together beautifully.

But what’s a BBQ sandwich without a side of coleslaw? My mayo-free coleslaw recipe adds the perfect crunch and tanginess to complement the BBQ lentils. Simply toss cabbage and carrots with apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and avocado oil for a refreshing topping that balances out the bold flavors of the BBQ filling. Seriously give this a go TODAY! Check out my other gluten free vegan recipes here.
