Roasted Veggie Sandwich


Roasted Veggie Sandwich

1. Cut up slices of zucchini and/or yellow squash, red and green pepper, and onion and roast them in the oven.
2. Arrange them on a whole wheat bun with tomato and avocado slices, or goat cheese.

Delish!



A note about oven roasting vegetables:

When I roast I chop up my veggies, coat them in a little olive oil and some herbs (use what you like - thyme, oregano, parsley, etc) and lay them out on a cookie sheet. Oven temp is usually around 400 degrees, and depending on the veggies and size of the cut, you can roast for 45-1hr.

Sweet potatoes, baby red potatoes, carrots, onions are good for roasting all together. Summer squash (zuchinni, pattipan or yellow crookneck) and asparagus take a shorter cooking time, so wait to add them until about halfway through. It really brings out the sweetness, but you have to watch them and give them an occasional turn as they can burn easily.
