Ingredients

• 0.5 medium zucchini
• 0.5 large red bell pepper
• 0.5 small eggplant
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
• 2 slices provolone cheese slices
• 4 leaves fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to make a marinade.

Step 4

Add the sliced vegetables to the bowl and toss to coat well in the marinade.

Step 5

Grill the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 6

Arrange the large romaine lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface; these will serve as the 'bread' for your sandwich.

Step 7

Place a grilled vegetable assortment on each of the lettuce leaves.

Step 8

Place a slice of provolone cheese atop the grilled vegetables on each sandwich.

Step 9

Add two fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese for extra flavor.

Step 10

Carefully fold the romaine lettuce leaves around the filling to form a sandwich wrap.

Step 11

Slice the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately.
