  4. Line a large nonstick baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Arrange the sliced eggplant, green peppers, tomato, onion, and mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a second sheet if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until tender but not dry.
  7. While the vegetables roast, slice the baguette lengthwise.
  8. Spread both cut sides of the baguette with the yogurt and mustard mixture.
  9. Layer the roasted vegetables evenly over the spread on half of the baguette.

  11. Cover with the second half of the baguette.

Note

If desired, you can roast whole garlic cloves on the same baking sheet as the vegetables. Once softened, squeeze the garlic out of its skin and spread it over the baguette before adding the yogurt dressing for an extra flavor boost.

These sandwiches are excellent for picnics or tailgate parties as they hold up well and are easy to transport.

For best results, ensure the vegetables are cut into uniform slices so they roast evenly.
