    JUMP TO RECIPE

    I decided to call these the best vegan meatball subs ever because, well, they are - thanks to the super delicious chickpea meatballs! Top with your fav marinara sauce, some vegan parm, and you have an amazing dinner or lunch that will please the whole family.

    Vegan Meatball Subs

    After updating my recipe for chickpea meatballs, I decided to make meatball subs with them. Sometimes you just need the comfort food that is a carb-enwrapped, saucy meatball sub, amiright?

    I am not even exaggerating here: this has to be in my top 10 recipes right now. Maybe even top 5. They are SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUSLY AMAZING. SO satisfying, packed with plant-based protein (fun fact: there are 39 grams of protein in 1 cup of chickpeas), topped with marinara sauce and vegan parm. Go Veggie's parmesan is tasty but pricey. Here is my homemade vegan parmesan recipe.

    You will not even miss the provolone that traditionally tops a meatball sub. I promise. These meatballs are definitely the star of this recipe.

    If you make the meatballs ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze them - and I highly recommend you keep a batch in the freezer because you will CRAVE those meatballs - this recipe makes for a quick weeknight dinner.

    Ingredients
      

    • chickpea meatballs
    • vegan parmesan
    • sub rolls
    • marinara sauce - this is my recipe

    Instructions
     

    • In a 400 degree oven, toast your subs on a baking sheet for 6-8 minutes. (If using frozen chickpea meatballs instead of freshly made, place in a baking dish in the oven at the same temperature for 10 minutes)
    • Meanwhile, warm up the marinara sauce in a sauce pot on the stove.
    • Place the chickpea meatballs in the toasted sub rolls, top with the amount of marinara you desire, and sprinkle with parmesan. Devour!
