VEGGIE BURGERS

Limited kitchen resources? Trying to avoid the frying pan? No worries, all you need is a sandwich maker to cook these delicious main dishes, and even dessert! Perfect for students in a dorm room, travellers, or a quick fix for busy parents.

INDOOR GRILLED PINEAPPLE

This Grilled Pineapple is marinated with butter and sugar, then grilled indoors in a sandwich maker. An easy option for an after-school dorm room snack! Dress it up with Pavlova for a fancier dessert. 

Note: If you don’t have fresh pineapple, canned pineapple chunks work just as well. If using canned pineapple, the fruit will be more wet: Decrease the amount of melted butter, or omit completely, as the juice from the can will provide enough liquid.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH PESTO SANDWICH

GRILLED TOFU WITH SPICE RUB

This recipe makes tofu a main component of any meal. Once drained well, tofu achieves a very firm, meat-like consistency and is incredible grilled, especially as it soaks up all the flavors of the rub. Note: Although this recipe calls for a grill pan, it can be made just as easily in a sandwich maker!
