Did you know that one of the best ways for you to reduce your carbon footprint and help fight climate change is by going vegetarian. Apparantely the meat industry adds almost as much carbon dioxide as the automobile industry. They say that even skipping meat one or two days a week would be a big help. And skipping meat a few times a week is actually pretty easy when you know a lot of easy eggplant recipes.
Now everyone is probably familiar with eggplant parmesian sandwiches. If you have already fried up the eggplant and you have some tomato sauce already made, it’s very easy to make a eggplant parmesian panini. But breading and frying eggplant is a big chore. Definitely not something you want to do when you’re getting ready to go to the office and trying to make a homemade lunch. If you’re the kind of person that can plan ahead and fry up a nice batch of eggplant on the weekend, then you’re all set. I’m not one of those people though.
If you’re like me, every morning when you wake up and see the panini grill sitting there on the kitchen counter, you’re probably tempted to fire it up. Well there’s really nothing stopping you. There’s no rule that says panini sandwiches must only be eaten for lunch. Why not start your day with a breakfast panini?

You’ve probably seen a lot of websites out there that focus on panini recipes that have mouth watering pictures of delicious sandwiches. Well this post is about the ugly part that comes afterward. I’m going to describe how to clean a panini grill.
The best way to add new flavors to plain old sandwiches is to add roasted vegetables. But if you have never roasted vegetables before it may sound a little intimidating. Not to worry, most roasted vegetable recipes are very easy to make.
First thing you need to choose is what vegetables to use. If you’re having a hard time figuring out what goes well together then think about the stuff you’ve eaten. Onions & peppers go great on sausage sandwiches but did you know that they’ll liven up a turkey sandwich too? How about mushrooms and onions. You’ve probably had that on a steak sandwich but they work great on panini too. Just pick what you like and go with that.
If you want to experiment a little bit, then why not try this roasted vegetable recipe.
Ingredients:
Cut up all the vegetables into chunks or slices of relatively the same size. This is important because you want them to cook evenly. Place the pieces in a large bowl and add the olive oil and the herbs. You want a nice coating of olive oil so use at least a quarter of a cup. Then mix up the vegetables and place them on a cookie sheet.
Roasted the vegetables at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Occasionally stir them up maybe three time total while they’re cooking. If you have a BBQ, this is a perfect recipe for using a BBQ Wok.
Using a roasted vegetables recipe like this one is great to do on the weekend and then use through the week on your panini sandwiches. Even a plain ham or turkey panini will turn into something special with these vegetables.
