Crispy tempura-fried zucchini slices are tucked into a toasted baguette and topped with marinara and basil paste for a crave-worthy Italian-style hoagie. On the side, a bright salad of peppery arugula and juicy tomatoes tossed in tangy balsamic dressing balances the richness for a satisfying, meatless meal.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and halve zucchini crosswise; cut each half lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick planks. Halve tomatoes lengthwise.

  • Lightly salt zucchini and let rest 2-3 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

Coat Zucchini
2
  • In a large bowl, whisk together tempura batter mix, Italian Seasoning, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and pepper. TIP: If mixture seems too thick, add more water 1 tsp at a time until it reaches a pancake-batter-like consistency.

  • Add zucchini and toss to coat.

Fry Zucchini & Toast Bread
3
  • Heat a -inch layer of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, add coated zucchini in a single layer. (TIP: Don’t overcrowd the pan! You may need to work in batches.) Cook until zucchini is golden brown and crisp, 2-3 minutes per side.

  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer zucchini to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt to taste.

  • Halve and toast baguettes.

Finish & Serve
4
  • In a second large bowl, toss arugula and tomatoes with as much dressing as you like.

  • Spread basil paste on bottom halves of baguettes. Evenly top with fried zucchini and marinara. Close to form sandwiches.

  • Divide sandwiches and salad between plates. Serve.

Review summary

Updated on Apr 2026
  • Flavor: The sausage and zucchini combination didn't work well together for some customers.
  • Suggestions: Cook the sausage more thoroughly rather than just frying and placing on top.
