Loaded Roasted Veggie Sandwich
I have never felt so grateful to have access to fresh produce! Keeping my body nourished is so important, especially during times like this!
Between the stress of the virus, and being pregnant, eating foods that make me feel really good, clear, and not weighed down has been such a priority for me ,so this sandwich has been a go-to on the daily!
When it comes to how many roasted veggies I can fit between two slices of bread...the limit does not exist!
This sandwich is loaded, but simple, with one batch of roasted veggies, a couple of fresh veggie toppings, and the best oil free hummus spread you could ask for.

- 1 zucchini (sliced)

- lettuce to taste ( I recommend romaine, butter lettuce, spinach or arugula)
