INGREDIENTS
2 slices whole grain bread
3 ounces low-fat mozzarella cheese
1/2 medium red bell pepper, roasted
1/2 medium zucchini, roasted
1/4 medium red onion, roasted
1 tablespoon basil pesto
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Toss the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, preheat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat.
Assemble the panini by layering the roasted vegetables on one slice of whole grain bread. Top with the low-fat mozzarella cheese and drizzle the basil pesto over the fillings.
Top with the second slice of bread. If using a skillet, grill the sandwich in a lightly oiled pan, pressing down with a spatula until the bread is crispy and the cheese begins to melt (about 3-4 minutes per side). Using a panini press, cook until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
