How to Make Sheet-Pan Italian Sub Dinner

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Garlic-Oregano Paste

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Finely chop garlic and dried oregano together, sprinkle over a pinch of kosher salt, and mash into a rough paste.

2. Prepare the Dressing

In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic-oregano paste with red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil to create the dressing.

3. Toss Ingredients with Dressing and Roast

Add chickpeas, salami, red onion, radicchio, and tomatoes to the bowl with half of the dressing and toss. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through.

4. Season Ricotta

Season ricotta with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

5. Serve

Serve the roasted ingredients with crusty bread, seasoned ricotta, and the remaining dressing on the side.

Pitfalls and tips

Ingredient Quality

Choose deli meats that are slightly thicker cut and opt for freshly baked crusty sub rolls to elevate the dish.

Bun Preparation

Lightly brush the interior of the rolls with garlic-infused olive oil or a mix of olive oil and salt for added flavor and crispiness.

Balance of Flavors

Use a variety of meats like mortadella, salami, and capicola, ensuring well-layered meats for a balanced taste profile in every bite.

Roasting Technique

Preheat the oven and use a hot oven (around 425°F) for a quick roast and crisp bread exterior without drying the filling.

Serve Fresh and Hot

For optimal texture, serve immediately after roasting with gooey cheese and crisp bread, or assemble at the gathering if transporting.
