Servings 8

Ingredients  

  • 3 bell peppers (red, orange, yellow) sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 Italian sausage or chicken sausage
  • 8 oz low moisture mozzarella freshly sliced

Grinder Dressing

  • 2 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Trader Joe’s Green Goddess seasoning
  • 1 to 2 tsp water as needed to thin

For Serving

  • Hoagie rolls (Jimmy John’s day old bread works great)
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Banana peppers or peperoncini peppers

Method 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Add sliced bell peppers and onion to a large baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Nestle the sausage links in between the peppers and onions. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until sausage is browned and peppers are tender and roasted.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place sliced mozzarella over the sausage and peppers. Return to the oven and bake for 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Turn the oven to broil and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  • While the sheet pan bakes, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, and Green Goddess seasoning in a small bowl. Add a splash of water to thin until desired consistency.
  • Add sausage, peppers, onions, and melted mozzarella to hoagie rolls. Top with shredded lettuce, grinder dressing, and banana peppers or peperoncini. Serve immediately.
