Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 4 thick slices of sourdough bread (about 1-inch thick); 1 cup store-bought or homemade hummus; 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds; 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into strips; 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips; 1 small red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rings; 1 small eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds; 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 2 teaspoons za'atar spice blend; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1/4 cup fresh herbs (mint, parsley, or basil), roughly chopped; 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and eggplant on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with za'atar, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then spread in a single layer.
Roast the vegetables

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Remove from the oven and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice while still warm.
Toast the bread

During the last 5 minutes of roasting, place the sourdough slices directly on the oven rack to toast until golden and crisp around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Alternatively, toast the bread in a toaster.
Season the hummus

In a small bowl, mix the hummus with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and remaining lemon juice. Stir well to combine, creating a smoother, more spreadable consistency.
Assemble the tartines

Spread a generous layer of the seasoned hummus (about 1/4 cup) on each slice of toasted sourdough. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the hummus, creating a colorful, layered presentation.
Garnish and serve

Sprinkle the assembled tartines with fresh herbs and toasted pine nuts (if using). Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and the vegetables are at their most flavorful.
