Everyone loves these grinders and they're even great as left-overs. My family loves to eat them cold the next day.

ZUCCHINI GRINDERS
YIELDS: 6 Sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 medium zucchini, cubed
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzerella cheese
- 6 (6 inch) wheat hoagie rolls, split
Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Toast wheat rolls under the broiler for 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned.
2.) Melt butter in a medium skillet over high heat. Fry zucchini in the butter until browned and slightly tender. Add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes longer.
3.) Add marinara sauce, salt and pepper. Cook until sauce is heated through.
4.) Spoon equal amounts of zucchini mixture into each wheat roll. Top with mozzarella cheese. Close rolls and wrap sandwiches individually in aluminum foil.
5.) Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven or until cheese is melted and sandwhiches are thoroughly heated.
TIPS:
You can use french bread or sub rolls instead of the wheat hoagie rolls if you prefer. The only thing that matters is the shape.
Add a dash of red pepper flakes to the zucchini mixture for extra spice.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Serve with parmesan oven fries for a hearty, low-fat and inexpensive vegetarian meal.
