Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop broccoli into small florets and slice bell peppers into strips. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated.
Spread veggies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Assemble the sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer mozzarella cheese, roasted vegetables, and drizzle balsamic glaze. Top with another slice of bread.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter, and grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese melts.
