INGREDIENTS
1 Whole Grain Panini Bun (~80g)
2 ounces Reduced-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 serving (100g) Mixed Roasted Vegetables (Eggplant, Zucchini, Red Bell Pepper)
100g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Roasted Chickpeas (~50g)
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20 minutes or until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, slice the extra-firm tofu into 1/4-inch slices and season lightly with salt and pepper. If preferred, you may lightly grill the tofu for added texture.
Prepare the whole grain panini bun by slicing it open. Layer on a bed of fresh spinach and add roasted vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle the roasted chickpeas and fresh basil over the vegetables, then add the tofu slices.
Top with the reduced-fat mozzarella cheese. Close the bun and press it in a panini press or grill pan over medium heat until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy and golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Slice the panini in half and serve warm.
