Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 4 slices Bread
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
• 1 handful Baby spinach

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into thin strips lengthwise, and cut the red bell pepper into large flat pieces by removing the core and seeds. Slice the red onion into 1/4-inch thick rings.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to evenly coat.

Step 4

Place the vegetables onto the preheated grill pan in a single layer. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

While the vegetables are grilling, mash the avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make a simple avocado spread.

Step 6

Lightly toast the bread slices on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, spread avocado mixture evenly on one side of each slice of toasted bread.

Step 8

Layer the grilled vegetables over the avocado spread, followed by mozzarella cheese slices and a handful of baby spinach leaves.

Step 9

Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, avocado side facing down.

Step 10

If desired, grill the assembled sandwiches for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side to melt the cheese and create a warm, crispy crust.

Step 11

Cut the sandwiches in half, serve warm, and enjoy!
