Make

  1. Turn on the oven's broiler and line a sheet pan with foil.
  2. Heat a large skillet or frying pan with the first part of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini slices in a single layer (do this in batches if needed) and sear until golden brown, ~3 minutes on each side. Set aside and return pan to heat. Add second part of cooking oil and then peppers and onions to heated oil. Saute until tender, ~4 minutes.
  3. Add artichoke hearts and olives to pan and saute until heated through. Season with some salt and pepper.
  4. Place hoagie buns, cut-side up on prepared sheet pan. Toast under broiler just until buns are beginning to turn golden brown, ~1 minute. (This will help prevent them from turning soggy when topped with vegetables.)
  5. Brush hoagies with mayonnaise and mustard. Top with cooked vegetables and finish with shredded cheese.
  6. Return pan to oven and broil just until cheese melts, ~2 minutes more.
  7. Serve hoagies with potato salad on the side and enjoy!
