Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Halve buns.
  • Trim, then cut zucchini into 1/2-inch moons. 
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add zucchini and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast for 12-14 min in the top of the oven, flipping once halfway through, until tender-crisp.
Prep and cook meatballs
2
  • Meanwhile, to a large bowl, add sausage, 4 tbsp (1/2 cup) panko, half the Parmesan (use all for 4 servings) and half the garlic salt. Season with pepper, then combine.
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
  • On a foil-lined baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until golden and cooked through.**
Make crispy topping
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt. 
  • Add remaining panko. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. 
  • Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining Parmesan, remaining garlic salt and season with pepper. 
Make sauce
4
  • Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add marinara sauce.
  • Cook 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
  • Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with pepper.
  • Remove from heat.
Toast buns
5
  • Once zucchini is finished baking, transfer to plates.
  • On the same baking sheet, arrange buns cut-sides up, then top with cheese.
  • Cook in the top of the oven for 3-4 min, until golden and cheese is melted. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide meatballs between bottom buns, then top with half the marinara sauce. Close with top buns.
  • Cut sandwiches in half. 
  • Divide sandwiches and zucchini between plates.
  • Top zucchini with crispy panko topping. 
  • Serve remaining marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
