GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLE SANDWICHES WITH PESTO
Summer in a sandwich! Zucchini, summer squash, and red bell pepper doused in balsamic-thyme marinade, grilled to perfection, and then piled onto pesto-smeared artisan rolls. For a shortcut, consider using your favorite store-bought pesto.

Time 50m
Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- Slice the zucchini and summer squash lengthwise, 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Cut the bell pepper into 1-inch wide strips. Lay in a roomy baking dish.
- Make the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Pour over the veggies and toss gently. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the pesto. First, toast the walnuts (an optional but worthwhile step - toasting adds wonderful flavor). To toast, set a small pan over medium heat and add the walnuts. Stir frequently until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add to the pitcher of a blender or a food processor fitted with the s-blade. Add the basil, garlic, thyme, lemon juice, nutritional yeast or Parmesan if using, and salt. Turn on the blender or food processor, streaming in the olive oil as it runs, until a sauce forms. Taste pesto and add additional salt if desired.
- Prepare your grill - medium direct heat, about 375 degrees. Lay the vegetables on the preheated grill grates and cook until grill lines form, about 5 minutes. Flip (we like to use long-handled tongs) and cook on the other side until tender and cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Transfer from the grill to a platter. Keep the grill on to quickly toast the rolls.
- Slice the rolls in half and brush the insides with the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Lay the rolls cut-side down on the grill and cook just until warmed and a little golden and toasty. Remove from grill.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Smear both sides of the roll with approx. 1 tablespoon of pesto on each side (more or less to taste). Add a layer of zucchini, summer squash, and two or three strips of the pepper. Close, cut in half, and serve!
Tips:
- Choose firm vegetables: Vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms hold up well on the grill and maintain their texture.
- Slice vegetables evenly: This ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Marinate vegetables: Marinating vegetables in olive oil, herbs, and spices infuses them with flavor and helps prevent them from drying out on the grill.
- Grill vegetables over medium heat: This prevents them from burning and allows them to cook through evenly.
- Flip vegetables frequently: Use a spatula to gently flip vegetables every few minutes to ensure even grilling and prevent sticking.
- Add grilled vegetables to sandwiches while still warm: This helps the flavors meld and creates a more satisfying sandwich.
- Experiment with different breads and cheeses: There are endless possibilities for bread and cheese combinations, so feel free to experiment until you find your favorite grilled vegetable sandwich recipe.
Conclusion:
Grilled vegetable sandwiches are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite summer vegetables. With a variety of grilling techniques and flavor combinations to choose from, there's a grilled vegetable sandwich recipe out there for everyone. So fire up your grill and start experimenting with different vegetables, breads, cheeses, and sauces to create your own signature grilled vegetable sandwich.
