Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant into 1/4-inch thick strips.
Place the sliced vegetables on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are tender and lightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, slice the focaccia loaf in half horizontally to create a top and bottom piece.
Spread hummus evenly over the cut sides of both the top and bottom focaccia halves.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, layer them evenly on the bottom piece of focaccia. Start with the eggplant, then zucchini, and finally the red bell pepper.
Sprinkle feta cheese evenly over the roasted vegetables.
Top the feta and vegetables with a generous handful of fresh arugula.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the arugula for added flavor.
Place the top half of the focaccia loaf over the layered ingredients to close the sandwich.
Slice the sandwich into 4 portions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegetarian Focaccia Sandwich!
