Ingredients
- 4 slices your favourite bread
- ½ avocado
- 2 handful rocket
- 1 courgette
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 1 tablespoon Baba Ganoush
Instructions
- Roast the veg - the peppers and courgettes. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little oil and roast at 190°C for about 25 minutes until soft and lightly charred. Leave to cool.
- Prep the bread - Spread a generous layer of baba Ganoush over your bread.
- Add the avocado - Slice the avocado and layer it over the baba Ganoush.
- Add the roasted veg - Pile on the cooled roasted peppers and courgettes.
- Finish with greens - Add a handful of fresh rocket for crunch and freshness
- Assemble - Top with the second slice of bread. Done - easy peasy!!
Notes
• Let the veg cool fully - Warm roasted veg will make the bread soggy - cooling keeps the sandwich sturdy.
• Dry the avocado - Patting the slices helps everything layer neatly without slipping.
• Use thick bread - Ciabatta, focaccia or sourdough hold the fillings best and travel well for picnics.
• Season the layers - A tiny pinch of salt on the avocado and veg boosts all the Mediterranean flavours.
• Baba ganoush as the “glue” - Spreading it directly on the bread helps anchor the fillings and adds creaminess without mayo.
• Make‑ahead friendly - Roast the veg the day before - they taste even better once chilled.
