Grilled vegetable and hummus sandwich

Smoky veggies and creamy hummus

Slice vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, bell pepper, and red onion evenly and brush with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or roast until charred and tender. Spread a thick layer of hummus on hearty bread or a roll, then pile on the warm vegetables and finish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.

Why it works:

• Hummus adds creaminess and protein; grilled vegetables add smoky depth.
• Fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon lift the flavors.
• Adding greens gives a crisp counterpoint.

Variations:

• Use flavored hummus (roasted red pepper or garlic) for an extra layer.
• Add crumbled feta for a vegetarian option.
• Press in a panini press for a warm, compact sandwich.

This combination is fast, nutritious, and great for leftovers.
