Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 0.5 large eggplant
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup hummus
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Place the sliced vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
While the vegetables are roasting, slice the ciabatta loaf into four equal sections, then split each section horizontally in half.
Toast the ciabatta halves lightly in a toaster or on a grill pan to give them a nice crust.
Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus on the bottom half of each ciabatta piece.
Remove roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Layer the roasted vegetables evenly over the hummus spread on each sandwich base.
Top with a handful of baby spinach, a few slices of red onion, and some sun-dried tomatoes.
Add fresh basil leaves for extra flavor and aroma.
Place the top half of the ciabatta over the fillings, pressing down gently to secure.
Serve the vegan Mediterranean sandwich warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful flavors!
