Hoagie rolls - 4

Butter - 2 Tbsp

Cheese, provolone - 4 slices (sub Swiss)

Zucchini - 1 lb, cubed

Oil, cooking - 1 Tbsp

Directions

Bell peppers / Onions / Garlic / Sausage - Prep as directed. Combine bell peppers and onions in one container. Store garlic and sausage in their own containers. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

Zucchini - Cube zucchini. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

Turn on the oven’s broiler (use the low setting if available). Place an oven rack about 6” / 15cm below the broiler.

Slice open hoagie rolls and place cut-side up on a sheet pan. Soften butter in microwave and combine with garlic and Italian seasoning. Brush seasoned butter over tops of hoagie rolls. Broil hoagie rolls until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.

Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil (portion for hoagies) and then sausage, peppers, and onions.

Saute until sausage is starting to brown and vegetables are tender, ~6 minutes.

Divide sausage and vegetables between hoagie rolls. Top with cheese.

Return skillet / wok to heat and add oil (portion for zucchini). Saute zucchini until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add Cajun seasoning and some salt. Saute for 1 minute more. Squeeze lemon juice over top.

Just before serving, broil sandwiches until cheese is melted and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes (watch closely to prevent burning).

Serve sandwiches with zucchini on the side. Enjoy!
