    Grilled Ratatouille Sandwiches

    I was recently enjoying a Roasted Ratatouille Salad and I thought to myself, “you know what would make this even better? A sandwich! At this point in the summer, it was way to hot to turn on the oven, so I fired up the grill to cook the veggies, rather than roasting them.

    In this sandwich, slices of eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, and red bell peppers are brushed with herbs and grilled to golden brown perfection. The cooked veggie slices are then placed onto rolls ­– the crustier the better. A thick layer of Garlicky White Bean Dip is the meal’s perfect complement.

    What is Ratatouille?

    No, ratatouille is not a cartoon rodent. It's a stewed vegetable dish that originated in Nice, France. It’s traditionally made with tomatoes, onions, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and garlic, along with herbs such as marjoram, basil, and thyme, or a mix of herbs, such as herbes de Provence.

    How to Make Grilled Ratatouille Sandwiches

    This sandwich is super easy to make!

    When slicing your vegetables, you should aim for slices that are around ¼-inch thick.

    grilling vegetables
    • First you should preheat your grill.
    • Then you mix together the olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
    • You then brush the olive oil mixture onto your vegetable slices.
    • Next you grill the vegetables for 5 to 10 minutes on each side, until they're soft with nice grill marks.
    • To assemble your sandwich, you spread the White Bean Dip on each roll. Divide the vegetables up between the rolls and top with the lettuce leaves and tomato slices.

    If you don't have any outdoor grill, you can use an indoor electric countertop grill or a stove-top grill pan.

    Oven Variation

    If you don't have a grill, you can roast your vegetables in the oven.

    • Preheat your oven to 400°.
    • Place your vegetables on a baking sheet that's been lined with parchment paper. (You may need two baking sheets.)
    • Roast your vegetables for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they're soft and golden. You should flip them after about 10 to 15 minutes, to insure even cooking on both sides.close up of sandwich

    How to Customize your Grilled Ratatouille Sandwich

    It's easy to make this recipe you're own!

    • If you follow a gluten-free diet, make sure your rolls are gluten-free.
    • Instead of White Bean Dip, you can spread hummus or pesto on your sandwiches.
    • You can omit any vegetable you don't like from your sandwich.
    • You can also add any vegetable you do like to your sandwich! Try adding asparagus spears or cauliflower slices.

    This Grilled Ratatouille Sandwich just might end up becoming your favorite summertime sandwich – I know it is mine!
