Grilled Vegetable Paninis
Updated May 16, 2019
Making paninis is one of our favorite โGo Toโ dinners. They are fast, easy, and healthyโฆas long as you watch your topping choices:) We use whole wheat ciabatta bread and stuff them full of grilled vegetables. Josh usually throws on a few slices of turkey and some cheese, but I just like plain veggies. I do slather on some balsamic vinegar and sometimes pesto.
This time we used grilled purple and white eggplant. Have you had a white eggplant? They are fabulous! Kalyn, of Kalynโs Kitchen, gave us some fresh produce from her amazing garden and white eggplants were in the bag of goodies. I recommend you try them. They are delicious. Thanks Kalyn!
Sorry, I got side tracked, we also used grilled zucchini, yellow squash, onions, roasted orange peppers, artichokes, tomatoes, and fresh basil. I think I got my 5 a Day and then some:)
The sandwiches start out HUGE, but thanks to our Krupps Panini maker they are soon smashed down to a compact sandwich with loads of flavor!
I also made a big batch of chunky vegetable pasta sauce to put in our freezer! This will come in handy when we are craving good veggies this winter!
What a wonderful filling and heathly supper. Iโll have to remember this for the nights when we come home late after soccer games!
wow, this looks sooo good!! yummy!
I do too love eggplants and any grilled vegetables! I can only imagine, crusty bread with such delicious filling.
I love veggie paninis. Looks good!
Ugh!! These look so, SO good!! I would love one of these right now, or any time, actually.
I just pulled my panini machine out from storage last weekend and made a panini for the first time in months. I have forgotten how good they are. what a great way to enjoy the last of the summerโs vegetables!
Maria, you forgot to tell us what time dinner is being served. These look good!
Fantastic! I love veggie paninis. Actually, I like any paninis. They look super tasty!
Iโve never even seen a white eggplant before! But these sandwiches look amazing! Now I just need to get myself a panini press!

Wow, this panini looks great! I just want paninis last week for a party and they were a hitโฆwish I couldโve incorporated this one into the mix!
They look delicious! Great photos of the process of making them too. Iโm staying home from school for a mental health day so Iโm just about ready to pick some eggplant!
OMG. You're killing me over here. This seriously looks awesome!!! I had my eye on some Ciabatta yesterday at the store & thought of doing something like this but hubby wasn't home. Now I must!!!

Ooh, Iโd love that. I love a good panini and those veggies are just begging to be eaten.
Too wonderful! I can never resist a good panini. I could never go back to cold sandwiches again. Youโve got me craving one now!
