Ingredients
  

1 large ciabatta roll or baguette

1/4 cup hummus (any flavor you prefer)

1/4 cup roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade), sliced

1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

1 medium heirloom tomato, sliced

1 cup baby spinach or arugula

1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bread: Slice the ciabatta roll or baguette in half lengthwise. If desired, lightly toast the inside of the bread on a skillet or in a toaster for added crunch.

    Spread the Hummus: Evenly spread the hummus on both halves of the bread.

      Layer the Veggies: Start layering by placing the zucchini slices on one half, followed by the roasted red peppers, cucumber slices, heirloom tomato slices, and marinated artichoke hearts.

        Add Greens: On top of the layered veggies, add the baby spinach or arugula.

          Season It Up: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the greens and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. If you're using olive oil, drizzle it lightly over the top for added richness.

            Close and Serve: Place the other half of the bread on top, press down gently, and cut the sandwich in half. If desired, you can wrap it in parchment paper for easy handling.

              Enjoy: Serve your zesty Italian veggie sandwich with a side of chips or a light salad for a complete meal.
