If you're craving a healthy, flavorful lunch, this toasted sourdough sandwich with basil pesto, roasted peppers, zucchini, and tomato sauce is perfect for you. Packed with roasted veggies and basil pesto, it's a delicious vegetarian meal that's easy to make at home. 

Toasted Sourdough Sandwich Ingredients

To create this basil pesto sandwich, you'll need a few fresh and flavorful ingredients: toasted sourdough bread, homemade or store-bought basil pesto, roasted red peppers, zucchini, and tomato sauce.

Fresh Rosemary Sourdough: We love to get fresh bread from Whole Foods and our favorite is the Rosemary Sourdough. It is important to get a fresh loaf or boule to get that elevated flavor and crispy texture in this sandwich. 

Fresh Zucchini: I am fortunate enough to have garden fresh zucchini in my backyard and this sandwich was actually born out of a need to use it up!

Red Pepper: Who doesn’t love some roasted red peppers, the flavors you unlock when they get warm and slightly charred add a warmth to this sandwich.

Earth Balance Butter: We’re eating a plant based diet these days and I love using Earth Balance, specifically to toast up the bread in this toasted veggie sandwich.

Olive Oil: For roasting the veggies you’ll need olive oil, I roasted mine on the stove top in a small pan but you can also make a large batch of roasted vegetables in the oven or your air fryer should you have one.

Basil Pesto: It wasn’t until recently that I became obsessed with pesto, it is the perfect kitchen staple for use on salads, pastas and sandwiches. 

Tomatoes: Grab yourself a can of tomatoes for the freshest flavor, if you don't have that a jar of tomato pasta sauce will also work fine.
