3 Japanese eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 yellow squash, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into rings
1 red onion, peeled, thinly sliced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

FOR THE PANINI:
1 large focaccia bread
2 bunches arugula, washed, patted dry
4 ounces shaved fresh Parmesan cheese
8 large whole basil leaves
TO ROAST THE VEGETABLES:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
