Ingredients
  

1 large zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

4 slices of whole-grain bread

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

A handful of fresh spinach leaves

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, and mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Grill the Vegetables: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Carefully transfer the marinated vegetables to the grill and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Grill until the vegetables are tender and feature beautiful grill marks. Once cooked, remove them from the heat and set aside.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Take four slices of whole-grain bread and generously spread hummus on one side of each slice. On two of the slices, layer the grilled vegetables evenly. Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves and sprinkle feta cheese on top, if desired. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, hummus side down, to form two complete sandwiches.

        Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches onto the pan and grill for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. For even grilling, you may press down gently using a heavy pan or a sandwich press.

          Finish and Serve: Once the sandwiches are perfectly golden and crispy, remove them from the pan. If you like, drizzle with balsamic glaze before slicing the sandwiches in half. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors!
