Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • The sides of the air fryer basket will be very hot so use a spatula and try to avoid touching them when flipping the sandwich. Use a fork to anchor the bottom of the other side to help if it's difficult.
  • Thinly slice the vegetables. Cutting them too thick will result in a sandwich that is hard to flip in the air fryer basket and also the vegetables will need longer to cook in the sandwich. 
  • Make one sandwich at a time. The ingredients can last up to 3 days so it's a great sandwich to have for lunch throughout the week.
