    This veggie bagel sandwich is a simple lunch that’s ready in no time.

    Just toast a bagel. Then top it with a slathering of homemade hummus and fresh, crunchy sliced vegetables.

    Perfect for on the go!

    Hands holding bagel sandwich over plate.

    Some things are perfect in their simplicity.

    A bagel sandwich is one of them!

    A chewy bagel with a creamy spread & crisp vegetables just hits the spot.

    This toasted bagel sandwich is topped with a generous schmear of homemade hummus, cucumber, onion, and bell pepper slices.

    It’s an ideal warm weather lunch when you don’t want to turn on the stove.

    But really, a bagel sandwich sounds good any time of year.

    I like to use crunchy vegetables in my bagel sandwich, so that it doesn’t get wilty if I’m not able to get to it right away.

    Sturdy cucumbers, onions, and yellow bell peppers all stand up to a healthy spread of hummus without withering.

    Are bagels vegan?

    Very often bagels are vegan!

    Make sure to check the ingredients on the bagels that you purchase as some of them aren’t vegan.

    They sometimes include an egg wash, cheese, or honey.

    You can find vegan bagels at natural grocery stores in the bread aisle.

    I’m a fan of the pretzel bagels at Trader Joe’s.

    Or you can pick up bagels from your favorite bagel place or even Bruegger’s.

    (See what your options are in my post on vegan fast food. Rosemary olive oil, onion, sun-dried tomato, or everything bagels are my top picks!)

      I love this! Quick, healthy lunches are something I struggle with. It’s so easy to work through lunch or eat something garbagey when I’m strapped for time.

        It’s true. Bagels & hummus are welcome anytime as far as I’m concerned.

      I LOVE bagel sandwiches—with hummus and pickles especially! We have a bagel shop nearby and they make vegan bagel hotdogs too so we go all of the time. The boys love it. I love making them at home too!

        Yes, pickles are great on a bagel sandwich – or almost anywhere. Vegan bagel hot dogs? I never would have thought of that! So they just brown a hot dog and put it on a bagel?
