Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches with King’s Hawaiian Buns

*This is a sponsored post by King’s Hawaiian.  All opinions are mine.  I love this company.  Mustard and herb marinated grilled veggie sandwiches on King's Hawaiian Buns. #spon // www.cupcakesandcutlery.comAh, summer.  I’m so glad it has finally started for us!!  School got out late this year so it didn’t really feel like we could really DO summer until a week ago.  Now our days are filled with swim lessons and keeping cool.  And it finally feels right to barbecue everything.  I’m not a huge fan of steak though, and I eat a ton of chicken so I wanted to switch it up a little.  Grilled veggies are one of my favorite things to eat so I thought, Hey!  Why not make them in to a sandwich?!  

Easy marinated grilled vegetable sandwich with King's Hawaiian buns. #spon // www.cupcakesandcutlery.comA quick trip to the store yielded all the ingredients for the grilled sandwich of my dreams!!  But you could easily sub out whatever makes your heart happy.  Do not switch out these King’s Hawaiian buns though.  I’ve never loved hamburger buns but THESE I could eat on their own.  Same great taste as their rolls.  And super light and airy.  While this is a sponsored post, I totally don’t have to make lifestyle changes based on the writing of a post for one company.  But I plan to only use these buns for my burgers from now on.  Gross regular hamburger buns, consider yourselves replaced!

Mustard and herb marinade for grilled veggies. #spon // www.cupcakesandcutlery.comI really like to play around with different flavors for my grilled veggies.  I love how caramely they can get with a good balsamic vinegar and how flavorful they can be with a drizzle of evoo and some fresh minced garlic.  But when I came across this recipe for a mustard and herb grilled veggie sandwiches.  I knew I had to try them out!  I also knew the sweet touch of the King’s Hawaiian buns would be the perfect balance to the tang of the mustard.  If you are not a fan of mustard (which I am usually not) then you can still make this grilled vegetables sandwich by using an easy vinaigrette (mix about 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar, 1/8 tsp salt, fresh ground black pepper to taste, 1 clove garlic minced, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried basil).

Marinade the vegetables in a mustard and herb mixture before grilling! So yummy! #spon // www.cupcakesandcutlery.comI made the mustard herb sauce and tossed all my veggies in it.  They don’t need to really marinade in the sauce, just need to be coated.  I also didn’t baste them throughout the cooking process.  I’m a lazy cook…  Well, my husband usually does the grilling, but I guess I was too lazy to tell HIM to baste them…

Tip: Spread mustard on King's Hawaiian buns before grilling to mimic In N Out's "fried mustard"! #spon // www.cupcakesandcutlery.comHere’s the kicker you guys.  So I love In N Out (a pure California treat!  So sorry if you have never experienced it.  Put it on your bucket list).  On their animal style burgers they do something called “fried mustard” where they grill mustard on to the bun.  It’s so great!  So I decided to try that out on the grill.  All you need to do is spread a light layer of yellow mustard on each side of the bun before placing them directly on the heat.

Mustard and herb marinated grilled veggie sandwich recipe. #spon // www. cupcakesandcutlery.comThe taste is tangy and sweet from the mustard and the King’s Hawaiian bun.  It feels hearty from the thick cut veggies and fresh from the herbs in the mustard sauce.  You can pair it with anything from chips like I did since this was my husband’s night to help with dinner and since he was grilling I didn’t want to have to make anything…lazy.  But this would go really well with a salad, baked beans, coleslaw, etc.

I can’t wait to make these again!  And a quick side note, the leftover vegetables  were fantastic cold the next day!

Thank you for supporting the brands that let me keep doing what I love.  Which is eating, finding quick recipes and sharing all of this with you!
