Step 2: Prepare the vegetables Toss the sliced vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 200 degrees C (400 degrees F) for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 3: Prepare the panini Brush one side of each slice of panini bread with olive oil. On the other side of one slice, arrange the roasted vegetables. If you’re using cheese, place it on top of the vegetables. Top with the second slice of bread, oiled side out.

Step 4: Grill the panini Place the prepared panini on a baking sheet and put another baking sheet on top to press it down. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C (360 degrees F) for about 10-15 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the cheese (if using) is melted.

Note: The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven.

Step 5: Serve This panini is best served hot. You can cut the panini in half and serve it as is, or with a side salad or soup.
