Devour these delicious veggie toasts with a knife and fork for a hearty meal that highlights an array of fresh produce. The key to a great loaded toast is to start with good bread: Be sure to find a fresh-baked whole grain loaf with a crispy crust that’s studded with seeds or nuts for an extra tasty crunch. Slice it into thick slabs, add a generous slather of oil-free hummus, and then pile on sautéed zucchini, corn, and tomatoes. Fresh dill adds an irresistible Mediterranean flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy hummus. Add a final crack of black pepper on top, and dig in!

This is so quick and easy to make, and the flavors really come together. I did let the zucchini cook just for a few minutes, but that’s just a personal preference.
