recipe: grilled veggie sandwich

in an effort to eat a bit more "meatless" as well as an effort to eat more delicious veggies, i whipped up this sandwich. makes a great dinner or lunch. you can substitute other vegetables that are in season or according to your tastes. portabella caps would be great on this too. used the george foreman grill which made this super easy. the amounts in this recipe only make one sandwich so be sure to double up if you're making more.

you'll need:
2 slices zucchini (small to medium)
2 slices yellow squash (small to medium)
1 slice onion (large onion, red or yellow)
6 asparagus spears
1-2 slices tomato
2 tablespoons goat cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons balsamic glaze (thicker than just balsamic vinegar)
1 roll (i used a chicago hard roll but a baguette or even 2 slices of whole grain oat bread would be delicious too)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 clove garlic


to make:
1- slice roll in half and rub it with garlic clove (if using a softer bread, be sure to toast it first). preheat grill. in a bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, and seasoning. place squash, zucchini, onion, and asparagus in bowl and toss to coat.
2- place vegetables on the grill (if grill is too small, do in batches). cook until tender. while this is cooking, spread cheese on one side of bread. top with tomato slice(s) and then drizzle balsamic on top.
3- once vegetables are cooked, assemble sandwich. and enjoy!
