A hearty sub roll filled with plant-based meatballs made with mycoprotein (fungus-based meat substitute) and a medley of roasted vegetables

Ingredients:

For the meatballs:

1 cup mycoprotein

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• For the roasted vegetables:
• 1 large bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
• 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• For the sub rolls:
• 4 sub rolls

• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
2. Form the meatballs: Using your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
