Carmelized Veggie Paninis

Carmelized Veggie Paninis

Ingredients:
1 t olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 8 oz box of mushrooms, sliced (baby bella are great, but any kind really works)
1 t sugar (optional)
8 pieces of Naan bread (can make your own, or buy)
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce from THIS recipe
mozzarella cheese, grated (fresh is best)
Panini press (or we use our old George Foreman Grill)

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add all sliced veggies and sautee until tender crisp. (If you have time, caramelize the onion first - sautéing until carmel in color). If you don't have time, just add a bit of sugar on top of the veggies while cooking. While the veggies are cooking, heat up your panini press or George Foreman grill.

2. Take two pieces of naan bread and spread about 1-2 t of the roasted red pepper sauce on each piece. Then on one piece of naan bread, add a spoonful of the veggies (enough to cover) and then some mozzarella per your preference). Place the other piece of naan bread on top (like a sandwich) and then place in the panic press/grill until bubbly on the inside and crispy on the outside (my grill light turns on when done).

3. Repeat with other ingredients. Makes 4 paninis (large). We cut into four pieces each. 

Notes: Jordan made these one day with leftover sauce after having the roasted red pepper melts from ourbestbites. Now I always use the leftover sauce with these! We all love these and they are easy to make! I can see myself making these a lot in the summer when we can't bear to turn the oven on.
