Easy Broccolini Cheesesteaks

Easy Broccolini Cheesesteaks are a delicious, vegetarian sandwich that is bursting with flavor!

A couple of years ago I visited Philadelphia. 

Such a great city with lots of history, culture, and delicious food. And when I say delicious food, I’m of course talking about the Philly cheesesteak. 

Thick hoagie style bread stuffed with shaved beef, peppers, and topped with cheese. I mean, what could be better? 

Well, I wanted to create that nostalgia, but on the healthier side. These Easy Broccolini Cheesesteaks are packed with roasted broccolini, a rich bolognese sauce, and of course, provolone cheese. I promise you won’t miss the meat. 

Ready to give them a try? 

What are in these Easy Broccolini Cheesesteaks?

These Easy Broccolini Cheesesteaks are SO SIMPLE to make. I’m talking about four ingredients folks! You will need:

• Favorite marinara sauce
• Provolone cheese
• Hoagie rolls

Tips for Making Easy Broccolini Cheesesteaks:

1. Broccolini. If you’ve never heard of broccolini it’s basically a hybrid of regular broccoli and Chinese kale. Broccolini has long stems and smaller florets compared to standard broccoli. You can roast, saute, grill, etc. broccolini. It’s a super delicious and easy vegetable to prepare. 

2. Red Sauce. This is where you can use whatever kind of marinara sauce you want. I love Rao’s sauces and so for this recipe I used their jarred bolognese. 

3. Hoagie rolls. If you can find rolls that are about 8-inches long that would be great. This way you can stuff the broccolini inside to create the look of a Philly Cheesesteak.

Ingredients

• 1 24 oz jar Rao's Bolognese sauce
• 4 bunches broccolini, trimmed
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 to 5 hoagie rolls
• 8 slices of provolone cheese

Instructions 

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• Separate the broccolini florets from the stalks and thinly slice the stalks. Place the broccolini on the baking sheet and drizzle tops with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook the broccolini for about 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brunch and slightly crunchy.
• Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise. Divide the bolognese sauce between the rolls. Next, pile the broccolini on the bottom of the hoagie rolls. Top each roll with two slices of provolone cheese.
• Place the hoagies on another baking sheet and into the oven to allow the cheese to melt, about 2 to 5 minutes.
