Start by slicing the ciabatta bread rolls in half horizontally. If necessary, remove some of the inside crumb to create space for the fillings.
Spread a generous amount of hummus on the inside of each bread piece.
Rinse and pat dry the fresh spinach leaves. Layer them evenly over the hummus on the bottom piece of each roll.
Slice the tomato and distribute the slices evenly across the spinach layers.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Scatter the onion slices on top of the tomato.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips. Arrange these over the onions.
Drain and pat dry the roasted red peppers. Lay them on top of the avocado.
Drizzle each sandwich with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread.
Heat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the outside of the sandwiches with olive oil to prevent sticking.
If using a grill pan, place a heavy skillet on top of the sandwiches to press them down. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes until the bread is crispy and golden brown, and the fillings are warmed through.
Remove the panini from the heat, cut them in half, and serve immediately.
