Ingredients

Scale
  • 46 sub rolls (preferably fresh or bakery-style)
  • 1216 oz sliced deli meats (turkey, ham, salami, or favorite combo)
  • 812 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: banana peppers or pepperoncini, sliced
  • Optional: mayonnaise or mustard for spreading
  • Optional: fresh basil or arugula for topping after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow to heat fully for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Arrange the rolls cut side up on a prepared sheet pan, spacing evenly.
  4. Layer 3-4 ounces of deli meats evenly inside each roll.
  5. Add cheese slices on top of the meat.
  6. Scatter sliced bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and optional banana peppers over the cheese.
  7. Drizzle olive oil evenly over all subs and veggies.
  8. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the top.
  9. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and veggies are tender.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set.
  11. Optionally, spread mayonnaise or mustard inside the rolls before serving.

Notes

Toast rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes before assembling if they are soft to prevent sogginess. Layer cheese directly on meat to keep bread from getting soggy. Use fresh, sturdy rolls for best results. Let subs rest after baking to prevent falling apart. Can assemble ahead and refrigerate before baking. Freeze individually wrapped subs for up to 2 months.
