Possible alterations you could make for, ‘Grilled Zucchini (Courgette) Vegan Sandwich’:

Other Vegetables to use: Instead of Zucchini / Courgettes, you can even use Summer squash, Acorn squash, mellow (or) butternut squash.

Vegan options: I have used Plant Based butter & Plant Based cheese in this recipe. 

WFPB / Whole Food Plant Based Options: To make the recipe completely Whole Food Plant Based, just eliminate the butter & cheese completely. Instead use this green spread>> Avocado & Spinach Spread (Oil Free)  over the bread.
