Ingredients

• 1 medium Eggplant (aubergine)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 4 pieces Bread (ciabatta or sandwich rolls)
• 0.5 cups Hummus
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.25 small Red onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick round slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Step 4

Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 5

While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the sandwich toppings. Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 6

Cut the bread pieces in half lengthwise and toast them lightly if desired.

Step 7

Spread a generous layer of hummus on the bottom half of each piece of bread.

Step 8

Layer the roasted eggplant slices on top of the hummus, followed by tomato slices, cucumber slices, red onion, and fresh spinach leaves.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bread over the filling and press gently.

Step 10

Serve the sandwiches immediately or wrap them tightly for later consumption.
