Instructions
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Add broccoli, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, half the Parmesan and half the Zesty Garlic Blend to a large bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Add broccoli to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 8-10 min.
- Meanwhile, add plant-based ground protein, breadcrumbs, remaining Parmesan and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend to the same large bowl (used in step 1). Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl).
- Arrange meatballs in an 8x8 baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 ppl).
- Bake in the bottom of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 10-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, halve rolls.
- Once broccoli is finished roasting, transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Discard parchment paper.
- Arrange rolls on the unlined baking sheet, cut-side up. Brush with 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil.
- Toast in the top of the oven until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
- Pour marinara over meatballs. Return to the oven and cook until marinara is warmed through and slightly thickened, 2-3 min.
- Divide meatballs between buns, then spoon over marinara sauce.
- Divide meatball subs and broccoli between plates.
- Serve any remaining marinara on the side for dipping.
