Steps
Prepare Vegetables
Wash and slice the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper into approximately 0.5 cm thick slices. Slice the red onion into rings. In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill Vegetables
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables in batches for 3-5 minutes per side, until tender and nicely charred with grill marks. Set aside.
Assemble Sandwich
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread pesto on both halves. On the bottom half, place 2 slices of provolone cheese (if using), then layer with the grilled vegetables and arugula. Cover with the other half of the roll.
Grill Sandwich
Place the assembled sandwiches on the grill pan or grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► You can grill the vegetables in advance, making the sandwich even quicker to assemble when hunger strikes.
► Experiment with different vegetables like mushrooms, asparagus, or tomatoes for variety.
► For a vegan version, omit the cheese and use hummus or vegan mayonnaise instead of pesto.
