Chefs! To start the new year off with a clean slate, we’re bringing you a series of recipes designed with ease of cooking and cleanup in mind, but without sacrificing the incredible flavors you’ve come to expect from a classic Blue Apron meal. Inspired by an Italian-American street fair classic, these flavorful sandwiches bring together spicy pork sausage and roasted peppers and onion between crispy toasted rolls.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the zucchini into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve the bread. Peel 2 cloves of garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash each clove once. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges, keeping the layers intact. Cut off and discard the stems of the shishito peppers. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling.
Place the zucchini rounds on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Evenly sprinkle with the cheese. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and the zucchini is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, transfer the smashed garlic cloves, onion wedges, and prepared shishito peppers to a separate sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Add the sausage in an even layer (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding). Roast 15 to 17 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and the sausage is cooked through. Leaving the oven on and reserving the sheet pan, transfer the roasted sausage and vegetables to a large bowl; add the roasted red peppers and toss to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the halved bread on the reserved sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy around the edges. Transfer to a work surface.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and as much of the hot sauce as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Assemble the sandwiches using the toasted bread and finished sausage and vegetables. Serve the sandwiches with the roasted zucchini and spiced mayo on the side. Enjoy!
