Getting to this Sandwich

Before we get to this sauerkraut sandwich recipe, a note on how I got here. Being a foodblogger has afforded opportunities to explore and dive into food on a whole new level. Becoming familiar with new-to-me ingredients and ways of cooking has broadened my palate and enlightened my world view on food.

Recipe development and food photography is my work, now, so exposure to all things food is on the daily agenda. 

For recipe inspiration, I thumb through the pages of magazines, cookbooks, the Vegetarian Flavor Bible, and scroll through Pinterest and Instagram. But most of the time, I gain inspiration from the food that the farm stands are offering and whatever is in season. I’m frequently asking, how can I use this ingredient in a recipe.

Recipe Inspiration

Beets have been on the agenda lately, so Rob and I have been pickling all the beets. But last week I decided I’d roast the latest bunch for salads or snacks…

But then I spied some sauerkraut… and had just made a new loaf of sourdough (I’ve been investigating multigrain). I had everything I needed to make an easy beet and sauerkraut sandwich recipe!

And so it happened. 

Now, I would have never thought to put beets on a vegetable sandwich. Really. And I use to despise sauerkraut. But my taste buds have matured… as has my appreciation for fermented foods. 

Quick Guide: How to Make Roasted Beet and Sauerkraut Sandwich

You just need a few simple ingredients to pull this mouthwatering easy vegetarian sandwich recipe together!

  • Bread – I love sourdough, but whatever your favorite bread is, is the best bread! 
  • Roasted and peeled beets – I have a tutorial on How to Roast Beets if you need.
  • Sauerkraut
  • Whole grain mustard
  • Sprouts

This vegetable sandwich is simple to pull together after the beets are roasted. I usually roast a batch on the weekend and eat on them throughout the week. 

This veg sandwich is texture rich, sweet, spicy and sour mouth party. Woah! It’s all in there.

And the best part, this beet and sauerkraut sandwich comes together with four basic ingredients. Now that’s what I call easy peasy!

A Few Recipe Notes

  • Beets can be roasted up to four days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Keeping these on hand means I can pull a quick salad together or make a fabulous veg sandwich! 
  • Although I love homemade sauerkraut, it’s generally an ingredient I purchase. Pickled Planet is my favorite brand. 
  • Don’t skimp on the mustard! Whole grain mustard gives this sandwich a tangy and full bodied flavor that you’ll return to again and again. I like Maille.

Roasted Beet and Sauerkraut Sandwich

Prep Time:10 minutes
Total Time:10 minutes
Servings:1 - 3 Sandwiches
Calories:184kcal
Author:Traci York | Vanilla And Bean
Flavor and texture rich, simple ingredients shine in this Roasted Beet and Sauerkraut Sandwich with a good schmear of whole grain mustard to bring the flavors together.  The ingredients are approximate, but three medium beets, should be enough for three sandwiches.  This recipe is vegetarian, vegan and easily gluten free.
**Time below does not include time to roast beets (40-50 minutes) - this can be done up to four days in advance. 

Ingredients

  • 3 Roasted and Peeled Beets medium in size (roasting instructions below)
  • Bread sourdough, seedy, homemade... use what you love!
  • Prepared Whole Grain Mustard the spicier, the better!
  • 1 C (225g) Sauerkraut prepared or homemade, drained if needed
  • Sprouts, Microgreens or Lettuce optional

Instructions

To Roast the Beets:

  • Preheat oven to 400F (204C). Trim the greens to the base of the beets and save for another recipe (I love them in green smoothies!). You won't need the greens here. Trim the tail and discard. Place beets in an oven proof baker or pot with a lid and fill with 1/2" - 1" water, cover and roast for 40-50 minutes or until fork- tender (the larger the beets, the longer the roast). 
    Once the beets are out of the oven, allow to cool until they can be handled.  There are two ways to approach beet peeling.  Use a vegetable peeler and gently remove the skin or simply slip the skins off. Your choice. Once the skins are removed, slice the beets into thin (about 1/4") discs. Refrigerate for up to three days. 

To Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Slather two slices of bread with a generous schmear of mustard. Arrange a layer of beets, overlapping a bit, then top with a few heaped tablespoons of sauerkraut. Sprinkle the top with sprouts, microgreens or lettuce. Enjoy right away. 

Notes

If using prepared sauerkraut, look for organic brands in the refrigerator section. I just discovered a brand I love called Pickled Planet (not sponsored).
