Ingredients

• 6 pieces sourdough bread slices
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 2 whole portobello mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup hummus (any flavor)
• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves
• 0.25 cup feta cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Cut the red bell pepper into quarters, removing seeds and core. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the zucchini, red bell pepper, and portobello mushrooms.

Step 4

Place the vegetables on the grill. Cook the zucchini for 2-3 minutes per side, the red bell pepper for about 4-5 minutes per side, and the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes per side, or until softened and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 5

Toast the sourdough bread slices on the grill for about 1 minute per side, or until lightly golden and crisp.

Step 6

Spread a generous layer of hummus on one side of each bread slice.

Step 7

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

To assemble each sandwich, layer as follows: start with a slice of hummus-covered bread, add a layer of grilled zucchini slices, a portion of mashed avocado, baby spinach leaves, and crumbled feta cheese if using. Top with another slice of hummus-covered bread and add grilled red bell pepper slices and portobello mushrooms. Finish with the final slice of bread, hummus side down.

Step 9

Secure the sandwich layers with toothpicks if needed and slice each sandwich into halves or quarters. Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Vegetarian Club Sandwich!
