Roasted Veggie and Havarti Panini

This is my new favorite sandwich to make this winter. I found a great recipe for roasted veggies:
3-4 red or orange peppers
3 small zucchini or yellow squash
1 bunch of asparagus
1 large sweet onion

Cut all the veggies up in large strips or chunks (1/2 inch wide or so), depending on the veggie.

Toss veggies in fresh diced garlic, balsamic vinegar, some olive or canola oil (about 1/4 cup) and salt and pepper to taste.

Set oven to 400 degrees and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the veggies are roasted through.

Then I buy a loaf of crusty bread (italian or sourdough) and some good havarti cheese.

I make the sandwich like you'd make a grilled cheese with a slice of havarti, then the veggies piled high, then another slice on the other piece of bread (so the veggies don't make the bread soggy). Cook on both sides until the bread is brown and crusty and the cheese is melted...
It would be great in a panini press or in a George Foreman Grill too.

This recipe makes enough veggies to make about 6 sandwiches, and they are good warmed up, so you can make sandwiches all week long, or eat the veggies as a side dish.

YUM.
