Instructions

Make Veggie Mix

  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil. Saute sliced onions, peppers, jalapeños on high heat to char them. Cook them on high heat until they start having some charred spots on them while still crunchy, for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Once charred, take it off the heat. Add salt, crushed red peppers, black pepper, garlic & onion powder and oregano. Keep it aside.

Make Vegetarian Sausage Mix

  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil and sauté sliced vegan/vegetarian sausage on medium heat for 5-6 minutes until they start getting somewhat crispy.
  • Add arrabiata/pasta/pizza sauce, crushed red peppers, garlic & onion powder, salt, black pepper, oregano. Mix well and simmer for couple of minutes.
  • Take it off the stove and keep it on side.

Assembly

  • Preheat oven on 425°F.
  • Make an incision on hoagie bun to cut open 3/4th way. Leaving one side of the bun still uncut.
  • Butter the buns and spread some pizza sauce on the inside of the bun.
  • Place decent amount of veggie mix on the bun.
  • Place decent amount of vegetarian sausage mix on top of veggie layer. (This step is optional if you are avoiding fake meat)
  • Spread little more sauce on top of sausage mix, skip this step if your sausage mix has good amount of sauce in it.
  • Place couple slices of provolone cheese on each bun. Sprinkle some seasoning.
  • Bake it for 8-9 minutes. After that broil for a minute or two to get some brown spots on the cheese.
