Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 1 medium Eggplant
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Yellow bell pepper
- 2 large Portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella (optional)
Instructions
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices; these will act as the 'bread' for the sandwich. You should end up with 8 slices.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into large flat pieces, removing the stem and seeds.
Cut the stems off the portobello mushrooms and clean them with a damp paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and balsamic vinegar.
Add the sliced vegetables to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the zucchini slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and they become tender. Set aside.
Grill the eggplant, bell peppers, and portobello mushrooms for 4-5 minutes on each side or until tender and slightly charred. Adjust time based on vegetable thickness.
To assemble the sandwich, place a slice of grilled zucchini on a plate, layer it with grilled eggplant, a slice of portobello mushroom, a few bell pepper pieces, and fresh basil leaves.
Add a slice of fresh mozzarella if using for added creaminess.
Top with another slice of grilled zucchini to complete the sandwich.
Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired.
