Vegan Grilled Pita Sandwiches
These Vegan Grilled Pita Sandwiches are the perfect lunch! Roasted red peppers, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, basil aioli and cream cheese.
Ingredients
FOR THE BASIL AIOLI
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 10 basil leaves
- salt & pepper to taste
- water as needed
FOR THE SANDWICHES
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 2 large handfuls spinach
- 2 whole pitas cut in half
- 2 tablespoons vegan cream cheese
- 1 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers drained and patted dry
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the aioli ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until combined, adding water as needed to thin. Set aside.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes* and spinach to a pan over medium heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Set aside.
- Heat the pita bread over an open flame or the microwave (this will make them easier to work with). Cut the pitas in half. To each half layer the vegan cream cheese, roasted peppers**, basil aioli,*** red onion & spinach. Lightly brush the pitas with olive oil.
- Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Grill the pitas (working in batches if needed), flipping once the bottom side is browned, and lowering the heat as needed. Remove from the griddle and serve.
Notes
*Be sure to add some of the oil from the jar.
**Be sure to completely dry off the peppers so they don't get the bread soggy.
***You will have more aioli then you need. You can serve it on the side or save it for another recipe.
