Make

  1. Turn on the oven’s broiler (use the low setting if available). Place an oven rack about 6” / 15cm below the broiler.
  2. 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.
  3. Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil (portion for hoagies) and then sausage, peppers, and onions.
  4. Saute until sausage is starting to brown and vegetables are tender, ~6 minutes.
  5. Divide sausage and vegetables between hoagie rolls. Top with cheese.
  6. 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.
  7. Just before serving, broil sandwiches until cheese is melted and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes (watch closely to prevent burning).
  8. Serve sandwiches with zucchini on the side. Enjoy!
