Roasted Vegetable Panini

Gather and portion all ingredients.

Set oven to 425 °F

Slice off the root and stem of the onion and remove the papery skin. Then slice into 1/4 inch strips.

Wash the zucchini, slice off the stem, and slice into angled strips.

Slice carrots like the zucchini into angled strips.

Crush the garlic with the flat side of the knife, remove the papery skin, and roughly dice.

Add all of the vegetables and chopped garlic to a baking pan and drizzle with olive oil.

Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and italian seasoning.

Mix the veggies and seasonings together until they are all coated in oil. Then spread out in an even layer on the pan and pop in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Add the pesto, balsamic vinegar and mayo to a small bowl.

Stir the ingredients together until smooth and uniform.

Cut the ciabatta loaf into 4 pieces and cut each one in half horizontally.

After 15 minutes, remove the veggies from the oven. It is ok if they are still a little firm.

Spread aioli on both sides of the bread and layer the roasted veggies and a strip of roasted red pepper.

Top that with the provolone cheese slices and close the sandwich.

Heat a little bit of olive oil on a skillet and add the sandwich.

Use another heavy skillet or cast iron pan to weigh down the top of the sandwich. Leave for about 5 minutes until it is browned and crispy and cheese is melted. Flip over and press for another 5 minutes.
