Method

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, and red onion into even pieces to ensure even grilling.

  2. 2

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Toss the sliced vegetables in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill each vegetable for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Pesto Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic cloves, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until well combined. While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of pesto on one side of each slice of whole grain bread. Layer the grilled vegetables on top of the pesto on two slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread, pesto side down.

  2. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Brush the outside of the sandwiches with olive oil. Grill on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the inside is warm.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your hearty grilled vegetable sandwiches!
