Roast Vegetable Sandwich With Tahini Whipped Goat Cheese Recipe
I'm of the belief that there is little more comforting that a well-made deli sandwich. In an effort to make a healthy sandwich to take on the go, I dreamed up this farm fresh take on a classic deli sandwich: veggies, whipped goat cheese, toasted multigrain bread, roasted sweet potatoes, and a drizzle of tahini for that extra bit of decadence, and I call it the Roast Sweet Potato, Whipped Goat Cheese, and Tahini Veggie Sandwich recipe.

Instructions
Slice The Sweet Potatoes: Heat oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Using a very sharp knife, carefully slice the ends off of the sweet potato so that you can stand it on one end. With the knife or mandolin, carefully slice the potato into thin planks. Place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Bake The Sweet Potatoes: Bake until the sweet potatoes are chip-like, golden brown, and tender (they will get crisper as they cool), about 15 to 20 minutes. Place the bread in the oven for the last few minutes to toast it. TIP: Sweet potatoes can be roasted up to two days ahead. Store in an airtight container. Make The Whipped Goat Cheese: Meanwhile, place the goat cheese and milk in a mini food processor and blend until it's airy and whipped about 2 minutes. TIP: Whipped goat cheese can be made up to two days ahead — store it refrigerated in an airtight container. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving so that it's spreadable.
Make The Sandwich: To assemble a sandwich, spread the whipped goat cheese on one piece of toast. Tile half the sweet potatoes on the cheese, top with a few pieces of lettuce, some of the sliced radishes, and the sprouts and then top with a drizzle of tahini. Close with a second piece of toast then repeat to make a second sandwich.
