Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 2 large caps Portobello mushrooms
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 slices Ciabatta bread
• 4 tablespoons Pesto sauce
• 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Arugula

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, then cut the red bell pepper into large flat pieces. Remove the stems from the portobello mushroom caps and slice the red onion into 1/4-inch rings.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the zucchini, bell pepper, mushrooms, and red onion to the bowl. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables with the marinade.

Step 5

Place the vegetables on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 6

Slice the ciabatta bread in half if not already pre-sliced. Lightly toast each slice on the grill for 2-3 minutes or until slightly crispy.

Step 7

Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce on each slice of toasted bread.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwiches by layering grilled zucchini, red bell pepper, portobello mushrooms, red onion, a slice of mozzarella cheese, and a handful of arugula on the bottom slice of bread. Top with the second slice of bread.

Step 9

Optionally, place the assembled sandwiches back on the grill for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious grilled veggie sandwiches!
