INGREDIENTS
1 roll Whole Grain Panini Roll
6 ounces Firm Tofu
1.5 ounces Fresh Mozzarella
1 cup Assorted Roasted Vegetables
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even roasting.
While the vegetables are roasting, press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture and then slice it into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Grill the tofu slices in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until you see golden crusts.
Slice the whole grain panini roll in half horizontally. Spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto on the interior of both halves.
Layer the grilled tofu, roasted vegetables, and fresh mozzarella on the bottom half of the roll. Close with the top half.
For an extra crispy finish, place the assembled panini in a panini press or grill it in a skillet over medium heat, pressing down gently for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is crunchy and the mozzarella slightly melts.
Remove from heat, slice, and serve while warm.
