Ingredients

Plant-based meatballs

1 pound

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Marinara sauce

2 cups

Vegan cheese

1 cup, shredded

Fresh basil leaves

1/2 cup, for garnish

Sub rolls

4

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the plant-based meatballs to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
4. Pour the marinara sauce over the browned meatballs, stir gently to coat, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Meanwhile, slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until golden.
6. Once the meatballs are ready, remove the toasted sub rolls from the oven. Place 4 meatballs on each roll, generously spooning marinara sauce over them.
7. Sprinkle shredded vegan cheese on top of the meatballs and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
8. Return the assembled subs to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve the vegan meatball subs hot, with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
