Preheat the
oven to 425°F. Spray a large roasting pan with
nonstick cooking spray. Combine bell peppers,
zucchini, fennel, onion and rosemary in a bowl
and mix well. Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and salt
in a bowl and drizzle over vegetable mixture,
tossing to coat. Spread the vegetable mixture in
the prepared pan. |

Roast for 20
to 25 minutes or until tender and brown,
stirring occasionally. Cool slightly. Spoon
approximately ¾ cup of the vegetable mixture on
1 side of 4 slices of the bread and top each
with 1 slice of the cheese and the remaining
bread slices. |

Heat a
nonstick skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking
spray over medium-high heat. Arrange 2 of the
sandwiches in the hot skillet and weigh down
with a cast-iron skillet (or place in panini
press). Cook for 2 minutes or until light brown
and crisp. Turn the sandwiches with a spatula
and weigh down again with a cast-iron skillet.
Cook for 2 minutes longer or until remaining
side is brown. Repeat the process with remaining
sandwiches. |
