Fed up with the same lunch everyday? If you’re looking for a healthy, portable midday meal then this delicious roasted vegetable shooter’s sandwich is for you. Interesting and flavoursome, it’s easy to prepare in the morning, ready to take with you on the go.

Roasted vegetables make a tasty and nutritious filling for sandwiches. We think roasted red pepper tastes delicious, especially when served alongside extra virgin olive oil. The composition of olive oil is primarily of heart-friendly monounsaturated fat (approximately 73%). It contains less of the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats found in most other vegetable oils.

Extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest and highest-quality olive oil available. This is because the oil is extracted without the use of high heat or chemical solvents, which can tarnish its precious glow-giving nutrients.

Feta cheese also plays a starring role in this roasted vegetable sandwich. This tangy cheese is a good source of calcium, along with phosphorous and B vitamins. Feta also contains friendly bacteria that can help to support our gut health and immune system.
