    To have a roasted veg sandwich you have to roast them the night before! and on top of that you have to cook dinner! not a very good meal plan!

      If you’re participating in the 30 day challenge and following the meal plan, we do suggest roasting some extra veggies (Day 14 dinner) for the following day’s roast veggie sandwich lunch (Day 15 lunch). See the note at the bottom of Day 14’s dinner recipe: http://www.veganeasy.org/recipes/sunday-roast/
