Notes
Tips for the Best Vegan Manwich
Toast your buns.
A lightly toasted bun gives structure (and prevents sogginess). You can also spread a bit of vegan butter or mayo before toasting for extra flavor. Customize your toppings.
While traditional Manwiches are simple, a little flair never hurts: add sliced pickles, red onion, vegan cheese, or coleslaw for a fun twist. Make it meal-prep friendly.
The filling reheats beautifully- store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes well for quick future dinners.
