Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 0.5 cup Hummus
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Zucchini
- 2 Portobello mushroom caps
- 0.5 block Extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cut the red bell pepper into strips, zucchini into slices, and portobello mushrooms into thick slices.
Slice the extra firm tofu into thin slabs about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the marinade over the prepared vegetables and tofu, ensuring an even coating.
Place the marinated vegetables and tofu on the grill. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and have grill marks, and the tofu is slightly crispy.
While the veggies and tofu are grilling, lightly toast the whole grain bread slices until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous layer of hummus on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer the grilled vegetables and tofu on two of the bread slices.
Add fresh spinach leaves on top of the grilled ingredients.
Top with the other slices of bread, hummus-side down, to complete the sandwich.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
