👶 Kid-Friendly🌶️ mild Spice

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow)
  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of whole wheat or Italian bread
  • 1 cup baby spinach or arugula
  • 4 slices of mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon pesto (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine sliced zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, and red onion.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.

  5. 5

    While the veggies are grilling, toast the slices of bread on the grill until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Once the vegetables are done, layer the grilled veggies on one slice of toasted bread.

  7. 7

    Add baby spinach or arugula on top of the vegetables. If using, add a slice of mozzarella cheese and a smear of pesto before topping with another slice of bread.

  8. 8

    Close the sandwich and grill it for an additional 2 minutes on each side, until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy.
