• 4 keto-friendly sub rolls or hoagie buns
• ¼ lb sliced capicola (or lean ham)
• ¼ lb sliced salami
• ¼ lb sliced turkey or roast beef (optional for protein boost)
• ¼ lb sliced pepperoni
• ¼ lb mozzarella or provolone cheese (sliced)
• ¼ cup sliced pepperoncini or marinated red peppers
• 3–4 tbsp Italian dressing (savory, sugar-free)

Step-by-Step: How to Make Hot & Cheesy Keto Italian Subs

1. Preheat & Prep: Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Slice & Dress: Butterfly your sub rolls, then brush both sides with Italian dressing or olive oil.
3. Load the Layers: Add pepperoncini, marinated peppers, and a layer of meat (capicola, ham, salami, turkey, pepperoni). Top with sliced cheese.
4. Bake: Place open sandwiches on the sheet. Bake uncovered for 10–13 minutes, until cheese bubbles.
5. Finish & Serve: Layer on fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion if desired. Sprinkle extra red pepper flakes for heat. Serve piping hot, perhaps with a side of keto-friendly marinara for dipping.​
