Hero Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 rolls Whole grain hoagie rolls
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into thin rounds)
• 1 large Carrot (shredded)
• 1 medium Avocado (mashed)
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 1/2 cup Hummus (your favorite flavor)
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt (to taste)
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

1. 1

   Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

2. 2

   Once the oil is hot, toss in the sliced red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re tender.

3. 3

   While the veggies are cooking, prepare your hoagie rolls by slicing them open, but not all the way through—like a book!

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix the hummus with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a zesty spread.

5. 5

   Once the veggies are ready, take them off the heat. Now, let’s assemble the sandwiches!

6. 6

   Spread a generous layer of the hummus mixture on both sides of each hoagie roll.

7. 7

   Add a handful of baby spinach to the bottom half of each roll.

8. 8

   Spoon the sautéed veggies onto the spinach, then top with shredded carrot and mashed avocado.

9. 9

   Close the sandwich and give it a gentle squeeze. You can slice it in half for easier handling, or just dig in!
