TIPS FOR MAKING VEGGIE SANDWICHES
- Slice: Use a sharp knife to trim the ends off of the zucchini. Then cut it into 1/2-inch slices lengthwise so that you have long pieces. Next, slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch slices. Core your red bell pepper and cut it into 4 pieces. Then slice the red onions. Once the veggies are sliced add them to a medium bowl with oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and ground mustard. Toss them well until the vegetables are coated.
- Grill: Spray your grill pan with nonstick cooking spray, and put it on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and grill them for 5-6 minutes on each side.
- Bread: Pop the sandwich bread in the toaster until golden brown. Then spread mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread.
- Assemble: Layer the lettuce, grilled vegetables, and sliced tomatoes over the bottom slice of bread with the mayo facing in. Then top it off with the second slice to finish the Grilled Veggie Sandwich recipe.
