Taking a bite of this sandwich always makes me smile. It delivers a variety of flavors and textures in a quick, nourishing meal. Even better, it’s nearly as convenient as packaged food when I buy pre-roasted beets. The vibrant colors make it visually appealing, too. I would eat this every day if big sandwiches suited my toddler, but they don’t—so preparing for a little one nudges me to try variations instead of repeating the same favorites.
For my toddler, I mash a roasted beet and blend it with cheese to make a spread. It takes a little extra effort when we share the same meal, but it’s worth it so Mama can enjoy her favorite sandwich. (See my beet cheese spread recipe for reference.)
