Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Artichokes:
    • 2 cups fresh artichoke hearts, trimmed and cleaned (or 1 can/jar, drained and rinsed)
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
    • Pinch of sea salt
  • For the Sandwich:
    • 4 sub rolls or ciabatta bread
    • 1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
    • 2 cups whole milk mozzarella, thinly sliced
    • Optional: ½ cup grated parmesan or provolone slices
  • Optional Additions:
    • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
    • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Artichokes:
    • If fresh, clean and trim artichokes. Slice into bite-sized pieces. If canned, drain, rinse, and season.
    • Toss with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
  2. Toast the Bread:
    • Butter the outer sides of the rolls. Toast in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Spread marinara sauce on the inner sides of the bread. Layer roasted artichokes, mozzarella slices, and optional parmesan or provolone.
    • Place the top half of the bread over the fillings.
  4. Melt the Cheese:
    • Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  5. Serve:
    • Slice the sandwich in half, garnish with basil leaves if desired, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Use gluten-free bread for a GF option or vegan cheese for a plant-based alternative.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Roast the artichokes up to 2 days in advance and store in the refrigerator.
  • Variation: Add roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, or grilled chicken for extra flavor and texture.
