Ingredients
  

1 large whole grain or sourdough bread, sliced

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 zucchini, sliced into thin rounds

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced into strips

1 small eggplant, sliced into rounds

1 cup baby spinach

1 medium tomato, sliced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Feta cheese or vegan cheese, for added creaminess

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a bowl, combine the zucchini, bell pepper, and eggplant slices. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until all veggies are well coated.

    Grill the Veggies: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned veggies and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Toast the Bread: While the veggies are grilling, either toast the bread slices in a toaster or grill them in a separate pan for a few minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

        Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of hummus on one side of each slice of toasted bread. On one slice, layer the grilled veggies, followed by fresh spinach, sliced tomato, and optionally, feta or vegan cheese.

          Finish the Sandwich: Top with the second slice of bread, hummus side down. If you wish, you can grill the assembled sandwich for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side to warm it through and melt the cheese (if using).

            Serve: Carefully cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with a side of mixed greens or your favorite chips.
