Spicy Carrot & Hummus Sandwich
Spicy Carrot & Hummus Sandwich with sauteed carrots, garlic, caraway seeds, and red pepper flakes on your favorite bread with hummus is healthy, easy to make, and full of great flavor!
I am loving making my way through all the wonderful vegan, plant-based meals I come across!
This quick and easy sandwich was absolutely lovely! I used my own homemade artisan bread too. How does it get any better than that!?
It’s an amazing sandwich that makes great use of caraway seeds (because they are delicious). I would have never thought of this myself, so thank goodness my eyes are always open for the next inspiration – and there is a lot of inspiration out there!
This healthy spicy carrot sandwich was created by the British chef Nick Sandler, for Paul, Stella & Mary McCartney’s book, The Meat Free Monday Cookbook. Recipe adapted from Food & Wine.
It’s a minimal-ingredient recipe full of terrific flavor. Add this to your must-try list. You will not be disappointed!
Ingredient Notes
In this healthy recipe, carrots, garlic, and caraway seeds are sauteed and served between slices of bread slathered with hummus for a quick and easy vegan sandwich!
Here is everything you will need:
- Carrots – I recommend grating your own carrots instead of buying them pre-shredded because grating at home makes a better cut.
- Garlic – Use fresh or store-bought minced.
- Caraway seeds – These healthy seeds add a distinct flavor. Get more from your seeds with these caraway seed recipes.
- Red pepper flakes – Add a hint of spicy flavor, and can be optional.
- Hummus – Use store-bought (my favs are Cedar’s or Good & Gather) or make this homemade Hummus.
- Bread – Use your favorite store-bought or make homemade Artisan Bread.
- Cilantro – Adds a herbaceousness, and can be optional if you are not a fan.
- Salt + Pepper – As always, use to taste.
How To Make Spicy Carrot & Hummus Sandwich
- Grate the carrots and slice the garlic.
- Saute the carrots, garlic, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes.
- Toast your bread (or not), and spread hummus on both sides because hummus is amazing!
- Add your carrot mixture along with a few sprigs of cilantro.
- Top with the other slice of slathered bread.
- Slice in half as shown below.
Now you are ready to enjoy. It’s a great sandwich any time of day!

I’ve been trying to eat less meat and was super glad this recipe was delicious! I made it simpler by roasting baby carrots whole instead of grating it, and it still tasted great :)
Super easy and delish! Thanks for this great recipe!
Absolutely delicious! :)
Thank you for expanding my carrot world :) I just served this on an open face pita with fresh basil. I made it open faced so I could have twice the carrots. Totally impressed with this simple and delicious recipe. Thanks for the inspiration. – JillP.s. my "my no knead" bread is rising right now. I'll let you know how my first bread attempt goes.
I love your idea of serving with pita and fresh basil! This is a favorite of mine…I must make it soon. Hope your bread turned out great. Nothing like using your own bread with this recipe. Cheers! :)
