I got my very first job at the age of 14.<\/p>\n

I worked as a sort of pseudo receptionist answering phones and booking appointments for my grandma's business (which she still owns and runs full-time today at the age of 90\u2014talk about inspiring).<\/p>\n

The office was home to a small but lively crowd. If memory serves, there were six of us, my grandma included, in the office at any given time. We brought sack lunches most days, but about once a week, we'd splurge on sandwiches and cookies from a local deli. Everyone's favorite sandwich at this particular deli was one that embodied all the flavors of Thanksgiving. Turkey, stuffing, mild cheese, greens, and cranberry sauce piled high on hearty slices of bread.<\/p>\n

Prior to having the sandwich myself, I thought the idea of putting sweet cranberry sauce on a savory sandwich was absolute madness. But upon first bite, I immediately understood what all the fuss was about.<\/p>\n

Sweet 'n' tangy cranberry sauce was the key to making the other savory flavors in the sandwich sing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was that sandwich that inspired me to start pairing cranberry sauce with savory dishes (Exhibit A<\/a>, Exhibit B<\/a>), but up until now, I\u2019d never actually created a sandwich<\/em> recipe that included the ruby-hued sauce.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, I give you the vegan fall harvest sandwich...<\/p>\n

These sandwiches require a little bit of prep work, but the great thing is that everything can be made ahead of time and assembled as needed.<\/p>\n

You'll start by roasting up a tray of thinly sliced sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n

These sweet potatoes require little more than a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper. They roast up golden and ultra tender, and make the perfect topping in these festive sandwiches.<\/p>\n

While the sweet potatoes roast, you'll whip up a quick cranberry-pear compote.<\/p>\n

Simply peel, core, and dice two pears and add them to a pan along with frozen (or fresh) cranberries, a bit of pure maple syrup and filtered water, and a pinch of ground cinnamon.<\/p>\n

Bring the mixture to a rapid boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to break down into a sauce.<\/p>\n

While the cranberry-pear compote simmers, you'll bake four Dr. Praeger's Kale Veggie Burgers in the oven until crisp and golden.<\/p>\n

As I've mentioned before, I'm not one to get wrapped up in the numbers game<\/a>. In fact, I have strong feelings against it. I am, however, a person who pays attention to ingredients, and I love that Dr. Praeger's keeps things straightforward by using simple, familiar ingredients in all their products.<\/p>\n

For instance, these kale veggie burgers are made with kale, quinoa, brown rice, expeller pressed canola oil, millet, onions, carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, potato flakes, roasted corn, red peppers, water chestnuts, zucchini, broccoli, rice starch, roasted garlic, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.<\/p>\n

That's it\u2014no other ingredients lurking in the list. You get a lot of veggie bang for your buck with these burgers and none of the unwanted funny business.<\/p>\n

Plus, they bake up in just 12 minutes flat.<\/p>\n

While the veggie burgers bake, round up and prepare the other elements.<\/p>\n

Once everything's ready, it's time to assemble these festive sandwiches.<\/p>\n

Slather toasted slices of sourdough or multigrain bread with a bit of vegan ch\u00e8vre (homemade<\/a> or store-bought both work great).<\/p>\n

Then, top with the kale burgers and sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n

Finally, finish with a generous spoonful of cranberry-pear compote and a small handful of baby arugula.<\/p>\n
