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.

Health Benefits of ‘Grilled Zucchini (Courgette) Vegan Sandwich”:
Carrots are a great source of beta carotene, Vitamin K, folate, vitamin A & anti-oxidants.
Courgettes are AMAZING for the heart and carries great amounts of potassium that reduces blood pressure.
To Conclude: Most importantly, both carrots & zucchini (courgette) are quite low in carbs. Hence adding this recipe into my collection of ⇒ Weight Loss Food / Low Carb Recipes
