Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Italian Grinder Sandwiches
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully slice the Italian sub rolls in half lengthwise, keeping them hinged to create a pocket.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
- Mix garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter.
- Brush the seasoned butter mixture over the cut sides of the Italian sub rolls.
- Layer the deli-sliced salami, sweet deli-sliced ham, and pepperoni on the bottom halves.
- Sprinkle the deli-sliced mozzarella and provolone cheese over the pepperoni.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella and provolone, then layer with roasted red peppers, black olives, and banana peppers.
- Add fresh basil leaves on top.
- Bake the sandwiches for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the sandwiches to cool for about a minute before cutting and serving.
- Serve your warm sandwiches with a side of salad, fries, or pickles.
