INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
8 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Chop zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant into even pieces. Toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred at the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Drain the extra firm tofu and press gently to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Optionally, lightly grill the tofu slices in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side to add texture and extra flavor.
Spread basil pesto on one side of each bread slice. On one slice, layer the roasted vegetables evenly, followed by the tofu slices.
Close the sandwich with the other bread slice, pesto side down, and press gently.
To achieve a crispy exterior, heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. Toast the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the filling is warmed through.
Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
