Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 slices Bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 1 handful Baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat.
Slice the zucchini into thin strips lengthwise, and cut the red bell pepper into large flat pieces by removing the core and seeds. Slice the red onion into 1/4-inch thick rings.
In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to evenly coat.
Place the vegetables onto the preheated grill pan in a single layer. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the vegetables are grilling, mash the avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make a simple avocado spread.
Lightly toast the bread slices on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread avocado mixture evenly on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Layer the grilled vegetables over the avocado spread, followed by mozzarella cheese slices and a handful of baby spinach leaves.
Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, avocado side facing down.
If desired, grill the assembled sandwiches for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side to melt the cheese and create a warm, crispy crust.
Cut the sandwiches in half, serve warm, and enjoy!
