How to Make Grilled Veggie Sandwich

Step 1: Grill the Vegetables

1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat.
2. Season the Veggies: In a large bowl, toss the eggplant, bell pepper, yellow squash (or zucchini), and onion slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill the Vegetables: Place the vegetables on the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and grill marks appear. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

4. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the bread slices on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden and crispy.
5. Spread the Hummus: Spread a generous layer of hummus on one side of each bread slice.
6. Layer the Veggies: On two of the bread slices, layer the grilled vegetables evenly. Start with eggplant, then add bell pepper, yellow squash, and onion slices.
7. Add the Greens: Top the grilled vegetables with fresh arugula or mixed greens.
8. Close the Sandwich: Place the other slice of bread on top, hummus side down, to complete the sandwich.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

9. Slice and Serve: Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy the fresh, grilled flavors with each bite.
