Cooking Procedure:
Place all the vegetables in a big bowl. Add dried basil, oregano, black pepper powder, salt and olive oil. Then grill all the vegetables.

To build the panini, brush all the bread slices with olive oil on one side. On the other side place the zucchini, top it with onion, then with roasted bell pepper and tomato. Then top all the vegetables with mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle black pepper powder, salt and red chili flakes. Top with other slice, with olive oil side on top and place it in Panini press.

* I used Sour dough bread but you can use any bread of your choice. Sometimes I use Focaccia or Ciabatta, they form a nice crispy crust.
