Easy Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches on Ciabatta – A Crowd-Pleasing Favorite!

Make these roasted vegetable sandwiches with yams, zucchini, onions, and more for a hearty, healthy meal perfect for gatherings.


Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches: A Simple and Delicious Crowd Pleaser

If you’re looking for an easy yet incredibly satisfying meal to serve a crowd, these roasted vegetable sandwiches on ciabatta rolls are a total winner. Loaded with tender roasted veggies, creamy avocado, and your favorite spreads, they’re perfect for dinners, casual parties, or even a cozy family night at home.

Let me walk you through how I make them!


The Star of the Show: Roasted Veggies

I used a colorful mix of:

  • Yams
  • Onions
  • Bell peppers
  • Zucchini
  • Yellow squash
  • Asparagus

Just slice all the vegetables thinly so they’ll stack nicely on the rolls. Toss everything with olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and a seasoning blend—I used “beer can chicken” seasoning, but Italian herbs or your favorite spice mix would work beautifully.

Roast at 400°F on large cookie sheets until the veggies are soft and slightly caramelized. Your kitchen will smell amazing!


Roasted Vegetable Sandwich Magic

While the veggies are roasting, I get the ciabatta rolls ready. I love the rustic texture and chewy crust—perfect for these hearty sandwiches.

  • Slice the rolls and toast them in the oven just until golden.
  • Keep them warm wrapped in aluminum foil.
  • Spread with mayonnaise or mix it up with pesto or even a spoonful of artichoke bruschetta for a gourmet twist.
  • Slice up some creamy avocado and spread it right onto the roll—so good!

Want to Add Meat or Cheese?

If you have meat lovers in your group, offer thinly sliced ham or roast beef. We also added slices of cheddar and muenster cheese for extra richness. Everyone can build their own sandwich exactly how they like it!

We like to use mayo, pesto and artichoke bruschetta to add in some extra flavor to our sandwiches.


Easy Sides to Serve With It

To keep things light and colorful, I put together a veggie and fruit tray with:

  • Cucumber slices
  • Mini tomatoes
  • Sugar snap peas
  • Mandarin oranges
  • Grapes
  • Kiwi

It adds a fresh, crunchy contrast to the warm, toasty sandwiches.


Why This Recipe is a Keeper

These roasted vegetable sandwiches are one of those meals that feels fancy, but couldn’t be easier to make. Just roast, toast, and serve. They’re:

  • Vegetarian-friendly (but easy to customize!)
  • Super flavorful with minimal prep
  • Great for feeding a crowd
  • Totally delicious hot or at room temp

Whether you’re hosting a backyard get-together or just need something easy and yummy to pull together on a weeknight, this sandwich recipe is one you’ll come back to again and again.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
