Roast the Beets:
Cook the beets until tender, then peel and slice.

Warm focaccia holds the sweet earthiness of roasted beets without losing its soft chew. A swipe of lemon caper aioli cuts through the melted Swiss and grilled zucchini.
This sandwich is all about balance. The roasted beets are earthy and sweet, the grilled zucchini brings smoke and softness, the sprouts and red onion keep it fresh, and the lemon caper aioli cuts through everything with that salty, sharp little punch. I like this on focaccia because it has enough body to hold the vegetables, but it still feels soft and generous instead of turning into a jaw workout.
