The gang will really like this sandwich! It’s taste and texture will surprise them. It is moments like this that you realize how much we have gained by adopting a plant- based lifestyle. It’s sooo… fun! Dr John

Chef’s Notes
Gluten-Free
Substitute tamari for soy sauce. Use gluten-free bread or gluten-free tortillas or wraps instead of bread.
Flour-Free
Omit the bread. Instead of mashing the sweet potato, slice it in half. Spread the hummus on top of the sweet potato, then add layers of the remaining ingredients.
Soy-Free
Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce.
Prep
Cook the sweet potato and make hummus ahead (even a few days).
